In contrast, playing stunted, thought-dead pros like you guys has helped my game no end!

Cheers!

Yesterday i had an unbelievable great phase 1 game unlucky i bubbled 3th place with 7 people left wheni was on 240 chips.
But an phase 1 running 1 hour and 30 minutes can u believe that ?

It was great final 3. I never had such good game since my pkr open win. Then when i play other its always the same unlucky donk retard shit.


So far i only will play when i play against known normal nice people which play at higher levels darnit

i know what you mean chiv, though i am guilty of fancy play syndrome and trying to pull of level 3 plays on level 1 players. for the moment, i'm just working on getting a roll big enough to take shots at higher level thinking games, because i really want to improve my game past the stakes i play at atm.

"if you cant beat the level ones chiv dude, then thats where u belong"

I can, it just gets monotonous though.

My underlying contention, basically, was that whilst playing for money is all well and good, the other reasons I play - the personal growth, the mental satisfaction etc. - just ain't what it used to be.

And "moving up" isn't really an option in MTTs ... not that it makes a difference. Even if they had a masters on every night it'd still be filled with the same low level dross (maybe like 5% better).

Plus "moving up" on PLO8 cash is impossible given I'm the one solely seeding the higher stakes games. Effectively impossible to get more than .50/1 running.

Not that I really need much mental stimulation for that ... PLO8 cash is a bit of a mindfuck and arguably requires less levelled-thinking because the equity edges are so much smaller, the decisions less important, yada yada.

That's why very few people solely play at one venue.

Before on-line poker - I played at a variety of casinos to maintain interest, as well as to aid in learning different techniques and strategies.

Then on-line came along, and that gets added to the soup

You have to develop an energizing mix of Brick & Mortar and On-Line.

So - I agree totally with your viewpoint, but I don't see it as being a problem.
