Message: [QUOTE="hardongear, post: 6885087, member: 1009158"] Yeah took me quite awhile to find the right approach when it came to dealing with the ups and downs. Finding balance was a lot tougher when I was younger, not married and had a lot of time to play. Now it's a lot easier that life is busier and now that I have a family to look after. Boxing/weight equipment was always an obvious stress reliefer for me as I was quite into sports and boxing when in high school and as a young adult. Scotch came later. The challenge of coming threw a huge field to make the final table and potentially win is truly very alluring and appealing to me. Oh cash tables for me are far and away more profitable it's not even close. Sadly my appeal for cash isn't close to my appeal for MTT's and never has been. I really gotta force myself to get motived to play cash as I don't really care about the money. I also think MTT's appeal more to me cause there is actually an end goal in MTT's. Cash really from one session to the next there really isn't an end goal like in an MTT. I already play higher MTT's when I play compared to cash where I stay at micro/low stakes up too 50nl. This time once I reach $2500+ for a bankroll I'll venture too 100nl and take shot. Another goal I have is to get better at 6max cash tables this year. I've always played and enjoyed full-ring the most. My 6max game is a little weak in comparison. I sense your next question which I get a lot. "Why you stay at micro/low stakes so long?" Easy one. Poker was never about the money for me it was about have an enjoyable, fun, relaxing and challenging hobby. The higher one goes in stakes the bigger the bankroll one needs to keep on the site(which I don't fully trust any site 100%) and the higher you go in stakes the more one has to worry about cheaters. Also the harder one has to work and study to be a winner. In the end it's just easier to have a day job that makes me six figures. Online poker is hard to be a winner at long term even at micro/low stakes. I don't need another job that's harder then the one I have already. Cheers!!! [/QUOTE]
