Interesting thread and one close to my heart just lately.
I came to a decision a few months ago relating to online poker in that i just can't win consistently, i feel this is for several reasons:
Firstly you need the bankroll to play the better events, when i say better i mean with better and fewer players. You enter a $10 comp and you invariably get 200+ players, enter a $100 comp and you are looking at a more manageable field (and better players, i suscribe to the view that better players are easier to play against).
I have been trying too many different games, some cash, some sng's, some multis and various variations, PLO, PLO8 etc.
I am trying to find MY game but don't stick to any long enough to find out!.
I am too impatient.
I have lost more than i ever expected or wanted to and now i think i try too hard.
So i decided to stop it, stop trying to make copious amounts of money and just have some fun, i think we all dream of hitting a winning streak and walking into work, smacking the boss and retire 30 years early, the truth is very few have the ability or determination to do it.
My decision is to just play the smaller games, sng's and multis for less than $10 and a lot less than i was, i have a bankroll now of about $1000 shared amongst many sites so i can't play the bigger events anymore.
I also want to go back to more live poker as i was for the majority of last year, i'm only talking £10 and £20 rebuys and the odd fessie event but these i have far more success in.
Last year i was plus £11k in live events but this year i have just been too lazy to travel.
Wow gotta be one of my longer posts
