Okay, so I tried to build up my bankroll on Party Poker the way I did on FTP where I was about up to $17.98 + $25.00 from another site to which I was trying to transfer to.
Anyway, would it be called a no-commitment clause if I just skipped that whole process again???
I really tried today but I had to go to the beach, etc,. Should I just give up poker if I'm not willing to spend another 5+ hours a day to win $0.17 or whathaveyou???
Poker should be fun and enjoyment, when it starts to become a commitment then take a couple days off or however long to bring it back to fun and enjoyment. Not sure if this helped at all
I haven't had fun in poker in forever. I always feel glued to it.
Very true, but whenever I play for "fun" I usually am to 'nice' to push ppl off hands or be the 'table bully.'Quote:

I just really didn't wanna spend 5 hours to win $0.17 cents like I DID do b4... Does that make me a lesser plr??? I'll try again tomorrow and if something comes up, I'll stay at home... :P

If you do you have to look at your self and think how well do you handle downswings and how long do they last when they come and put in a lot of hours off the tables studying your games and reading poker material. This is what the really successful grinders that made poker their main source of income playing on line.
whatever you do go hard and win win win. I will be pulling for you man!!!
I love the game and play alot,,,,maybe too much but it's the only addiction I can handle,,,,lol
like i said befpre. its all about good bankroll management. Chris ferguson should be a role model for everyone on this site. he showed that good poker skill and good bankroll management could catapult anyone to the top and a lot of pros think the same thing.
I use to love Party Poker. Hopefully they will come back to the US.
i wish ftp is back not nearly as many bad disgussing beats there but maybe i should quit period
Poker isn't fun, it's an addiction. It's only fun if you win a bunch
You must be from another country? Cause us US players are not allowed to play Party Poker or Fulltilt
It's really all up to you dawg. I have an addiction and i satisfy it periodically. But i play tennis a lot too.
Played hard today and was rewarded:

P.S. I saw you at the 6:00 A.M. (in your country = 2:00 P.M. in Sweden) $50 Freeroll, ProBlackBird. You were just sitting out, but if you weren't AFK I woulda dumped some chips for you---at least 20k. :D
I used to love Party Poker. It was my favorite site.
Poker is pretty fun, i have been having crappy days tho, i have awful bankroll management.
I'm gonna start updating the thread in every increment of $0.50 USD gained:

$2.00 USD here I come!!!
lol, seems like you are doing a very hard job, starting with nothing...
I agree with Drywallman3. When it's no longer fun then take a much needed break
Yeah, if you are looking at it like it's a commitment and not just for fun, maybe you should stop for awhile. I just consider the money as a way to keep score of how I am doing, it's just a game.
Yeah its just a game. not gonna get rich playing online freerolls.

I play Poker for fun.
def would love to find a way to make money online opposed to work
Finding a way to make money online would still be a job. I would love to play online as a job, but my eyes hurt if i play for longer than 4 or 5 hours... so i tossed that idea
def
Love poker and I do too, get burnt once in awhile and the good thing is you can turn the comp off and return whenever you wish.
i love my poker too, its like my mistress,it the only fun i have seems like
Don't worry about winning money. Play the play money tables if it is becoming that much of pressure.
Thanks.Quote:

As I've done $0 to hero now on 3, working on a 4th now. I'll tell ya eqg, The beginning grind sux. But, as party/bwin is one of the majors, I think there should be an easier way to grind. One check out any pokerschool, or academy type of things they have. Another thing I've done is to shoot myself 50 from another site. As I grinded out the fifty from zero, I can accept this type of cheatin for my 0 to hero challenge.Quote:
