I could work hard to be twice as good and win at 4ptbb/100 but I think it's hard to be twice as good as me, and it just makes sense to be happy with where I am."<BR/><BR/>The flaw comes in thinking that going from 2 to 4 requires twice the skill. Of course, I don't know anyone would actually state the above, but I do believe that there are quite a few people who think that way, or perhaps feel that way without really considering it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07901863272605053446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1869684927662694124.post-42030861782299646822008-08-05T17:58:00.000+02:002008-08-05T17:58:00.000+02:00It's hard to play better when you're just trying t...It's hard to play better when you're just trying to play hands (your current situation). If you can do both you're truly a great player. <BR/><BR/>I think your point about spending the time and energy to get better rather than just playing more hands is the main reason I read CC (and other forums). It's also why I joined Stox, read your blog (among others), and just spend time thinking about poker. My goal is actually to make decent fun money in as <I>little</I> time as possible. I don't want to have to grind 50K+ hands per month because I'm afraid I'll stop enjoying the game. An hour or so a day is about my limit for actual online playing time most days. Not because I don't have any more time, but because when I play much longer than that I start giving $$ away.<BR/><BR/>Great post today FP.WVHillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12343057764830888763noreply@blogger.com
