i didn't quit but i understood that the idea i could beat the rake required more dedication than i was willing to devote.

so i cut back. i still play on big days. i still have a negative roi overall. but i still enjoy the wins. it still feels like i solved a difficult puzzle.

90% of the guys that tell you what to do have no idea if they're profitable or not. if you enjoy it, i don't think $100/month is bad rent.

put it in the right perspective, you have a life. this stuff should be 0.1% of it for guys like you and i.
Very well said. Now I know someone hs a grip on this game on the forum and really enjoys the game for what it is, entertainment.
