Message: [QUOTE="Ogma, post: 6987331, member: 1027736"] Great thread with some great responses from some great posters and great players. Two of which I have played heads up fairly recently and was delighted to have come out the other side victorious. Shout out, [USER=457533]@ninocabral[/USER] & [USER=46058]@pentazepam[/USER] - undoubtedly two of the toughest and most capable players in our community. I never looked at poker as anything more than a hobby, a pastime. I've always had other multiple sources of income and I was always raised by my Yorkshire father to 'never bet more than you can afford to lose'. I've never made or lost more than 3 figures in a day but that hasn't put a dent in my income. Poker hasn't changed my perspective on money at all that I can think of. Even when I played slightly higher stakes, years ago, I didn't think about the money while I was playing. I was thinking about the game. It was the game I love, not the money. I don't play a 3 hour freeroll to win 20 bucks, I play for the very real buzz of winning. To quote another great song. 'There's time enough for counting, when the dealing's done'. :) I used to play the Hubbles games on Pokerstars, back in the day. 10,000 entrants, 3 or 4 times I finished in the top 27 and I'd just scroll and scroll and scroll through the list of thousands of people from all over the planet who I had lasted longer than. 4 in the morning and the adrenaline is buzzing through your veins - not because of the $1.20 you'd just won, but because of the size of what you had just achieved and the crazy rollercoaster journey you had just been on.
