I can barely get to grips with one form of poker, so the people who play many different disciplines, i take my hat off to them because they are a lot better players than me

I can play several forms of poker but I much prefer No Limit Texas Holdem. I have been able to make money in each of the variants which I can play. However, I know I make the most playing No Limit. Wishing you all the best be cool

Hi. About your challenge, the fact of taking poker as one of the main daily things someone does for a long time must tend to decrease the passion for the game itself, as it turns into a profession. That sensation may pass with time but you will never look at the game the same way you were used to. Keep patience up and focus on what you are doing every time you play. Or else. You really better think about vacation. Algarve is already enjoyable in Portugal

Thank you for your words mate. I am wondering if you just gave me an invitation to come to Portugal? I must warn you that I would expect you too give me a guided tour. I want to see a cool pub, hot women, and beautiful natural view. Wishing you all the best. be cool

Well I must admit that I have been getting absolutely no enjoyment from playing poker at all. I even sat down at a NL100 table at even the three times I was all in did not excite me. I simply did not care if I won or lost. I guess that can make a player fearless but it can also make you complacent and stupid. well at least I did not lost all my bankroll today. best wishes to you be cool

Playing different types of poker at the same time is really challenging but is really rewarding in terms of brain management and the ability to assess and read the relative game at any given time so that you can improve your overall game. Give it a go.

Ronin, if you think about it it's good that you don't get affected when you play at higher stakes, this is always important in poker to somehow detach form the value of money.
Of course, the essential thing is to always have an eye on your bankroll, as long as you have bullets, you are a player

Yes I guess that you are correct in one sense. My problem is right know I seem to have lost all the joy I used to have when playing poker. I think I will miss that deeply if it does not return. best wishes to you mate. be cool
