Great to have you here Tommy, you sent me a copy or EoP some time ago  but didn't sign it, will have to get u to do that some day...:o will check the new one too...

Re  differences in approach to the game (life), is true Dusty's approach  (see comments above) is more discipline and work oriented (true work  ethic driven business approach) which, although it can work for the  multitable grinders, is not fun at all :eek:, at least for me.

Your  attitude is more like Roy West's, only play when you feel good. He  writes about driving hours to a casino to play, only to turn around in  the parking lot and go home, because he didn't feel right.

So yr  wife Kay is absolutely right, not playing some sessions and playing less  hands (similar related thoughts) are very zenlike if I may be so  presumptuous, in that absence is really the substance. :D And then playing when things are right becomes much more powerful. Don't you think?

Exactly, partly accounting for  some of those huge swings that happen to them. Grinding brick and mortar  rooms like Roy or Tommy has its own toll, but I can't imagine what it  does to a young person's life to sit staring at a screen and hundreds of  anonymous blips all day and night (and dreaming about it of course) for  years at a time. Can you say arrested (human) development? The fallout  to these kids lives is yet to be seen. I don't care that [I]some of them[/I]  get rich. And ya, even the best end up playing a lot of crappy poker,  like the C Game or worse described in EoP, when they are forcing  themselves to sit and grind into the night, having missed seeing  daylight. Whew...

I have an Irish granny who told me, if you turn around the money in your pockets, you will get more!! :rolleyes:
