Message: [QUOTE="RamdeeBen, post: 1583436, member: 71146"] I don't suppose it's because I don't enjoy them. I do enjoy them to a degree because of the convenience of them and the rewards (VIP programme) It's just from my experience the swings often take to much effect on me. I'v played around 20,000 hands over the past couple of months so maybe could be a bad run? lol. It's not because I'm becoming egoistic or anything. I did start out playing one or two tables maximum and did find them "educational" and enjoyed them. However, over time I added an extra table for example and to now play maybe one or two tables at a time kind of bores me. Is that the wrong attitude? I used to also play online shooter games for over 10 years so it's isn't like I get exhausted playing them, in fact it keeps me more concentrated as odd as it sounds. I play on average between 8-10 tables, anything much lower than five I tend to start getting bored and I know this doesn't sound like I'm enthusiastic about poker but I am. I used to hate turbos until I started playing more tables and there seems to be more games in turbo mode. I'v also seen that "top" players who grind SnG's are often more turbos than not. I'm not saying I'm trying to follow in their sick achievements even if this would be a brilliant fate. It purely showed me the variance can be over-ridden and quite easily beaten long term. I'm not worried as in I need the money because I don't. I definitely wouldn't gamble what i couldn't afford. The reason I'm worried is more to the fact I'd rather find a game I know I can play and just play it. I just don't know which. I feel I can pull of results etc but over time it slowly does go down and I'm trying to control BR management so would be gutted if I went broke. Granted if I'm a long term losing player, I'm bound to go broke at some point. I just don't want to feel I'm a losing player if purely because I'v lost based on to many mixed up games and switching. Indeed that's what makes me like playing the cash games..I just really am stuck as I feel I need to pick and stick with one.[/quote] I have read quite a number of books etc over the past couple of months. I've read the Dan Harrington ones and got "moshmans SnG" as well as Slankys Theory of poker just haven't started reading them. I feel fried with all the reading and online stuff I've read recently. Anyway I very much appreciate the hard work you put into answering my questions I really do (as always) Clearly you have put a lot of your time into answering my questions. You're like my angel on my shoulder. You answer everything so clearly for me to understand it gives me that extra motivation to get back to learning more. If there was a CC vote/reward system I most certainly would vote you. I think I will get reading a bit more again and taking it more slowly and try slacking on the turbos and maybe giving cash another shot and I will report back in a few weeks and let you know how I'm getting on or if I've gone busto lol. Thanks again Bud. [/QUOTE]
