Message: [QUOTE="Marginal, post: 1649332, member: 63072"] I am making this post based on some of my observations. Now let me start by saying that we all want to be great poker players, we all want to reach that level where we are playing for thousands of dollars and that position where we are the idols of a future generation of poker players but I got some bad news for you. 99.9% of us will never make it to that place. While we want to succeed and do everything we can do reach there, sometimes it is not in the cards for us. A lot of what makes some of the great players great are things that most people don't have. It is like any other sport, as often as I play golf, I will never be Tiger Woods but I can be a good golfer. So while most of us will never reach the top of the poker world, we can still be good players. I am not trying to discourage people but rather say that be greatful that you beating 10nl or 5$ sngs. Be happy to not be a fish. Be happy with where you are and just enjoy the game because in the end, we all started playing as a form of recreation and we should mostly try to keep those feelings in mind everytime we book a win etc. Let us just have fun and if we happen to make money at the game great. I am also not trying to tell people not to grind and be ambitious to move up or to not set any goals because all of those things are beneficial in the long run but I am saying that when we fail to meet our goals, just remember why you started playing which is to just have fun. Secondly, I am guilty of thinking down on some people who have been playing for 5 years or more who never really move up and just play occassionally but the thing is, they are better off than most of us. They play where they are happy and enjoy the game with some friends and I salute you! Now I dont know why I have typed this out, maybe I am bored but let's just have fun, let us forget those bad beats and enjoy the game that we love to play. [/QUOTE]
