[QUOTE="zachvac, post: 738579, member: 26306"] I won't be too lengthy since you said you had more to add, but if this is what you want, either 1. You shouldn't be too worried about making a profit, since you're not playing very much or are playing for fun 2. Poker is not the game for you. There is no guarantee of short term profit in poker, no matter how good you are. and you said "to talk like making a living grinding cash games online is easily achievable is pretty much fantasy for most." I said exactly the opposite, but I said that's why it's good. Poker is a 0-sum game, and with the rake it's even worse. So if it were easy, everyone would do it and the cycle I described in the original post would occur. The very reason poker can be profitable (or anything in life really) is because it's hard but if you work at it you can acheive those hard things. I want poker to be as hard as possible, I want there to be things to throw off other people who won't work hard at it. I profit when I have an edge, and each new challenge presents a potential edge that I can gain when I face it. So is any part of poker easy? Not at all. Is that a good thing? I think so. [/QUOTE]
