You raise a good point - Poker to me is a hobby... i enjoy playing live and meeting new people and trashtalking - i love it i love it i love it.....
I dont play to win the money - but if i do win then its a bonus... i would rather spend £20 playing poker and having a laugh than going into town to waste £50+ and all i get is a hangover the next day (or some action if iam very lucky).
In short... there is no magic formula to winning and even though i am happy with the reasoning to why i play - it wont suit other people.... just do what you feel is right!! I have just sat down and roughly worked out my stats for my first year playing the game.... and it looks like i am down by £300 (live and online and that is complete honesty) so i will quit playing online but continue playing live - as i enjoy it.... the way i justify my loss is: it was my first year & averaged out i lost just over £5 a week.... which i can justify.... £5 a week to have a bloody good laugh at the tables talking the piss out of everyone and getting some good old table banter going - i dont think i have been to a game where i havent wet my self laughing... Just enjoy the game and the company!!!
