LOL, nice. At least I wasn't the one photographed jamming a pink dildo down my own throat... yeah, I'm talking 'bout you, Hof!

| Posted by: 6maxpro at February 17, 2005, 7:04 pm | | Topic: My Transition; Part 2 Forum: Bonus Whores | The key is to view activities (sports, drinking with friends, gf, relaxing) as having real and innate value. If you think of them as unimportant, of course you're going to think "Oh man, I could have made $xx if I was whoring instead of [activity] right now."
Here's how I do it... I do my computer stuff (AIM, e-mail, 2plus2/BW) that I'd be doing anyway while I play. Lowers my hourly rate a bit, but such is life. At least with a 20' monitor, I can keep an eye on both things.
As for the other activities... I'm going to a beer festival tonight (it's ok... I'm looking for a brewing job... really!); then I'm reffing hockey. So I'll be getting paid to skate and drink tonight.
Seriously, though... it's like a job... when you're done with a job that sucks, you don't think "Man, I could go back to the office and make $xx/hr." When work's done, crack a beer, crack a smile, and fuck it.

Really, it's hard to enjoy other actvities when you realize you could be making money playing poker. Pretty much the only thing I do these days is watch TV for a bit while I'm resting away from the table. No movies, no video games, no sports. Still, I do try to hang out with friends since I don't want to be complete social shut-in.
It's just priorities. Would you be forgoing $25 an hour playing poker so you can watch "Son of the Mask?" I thought not. Still, I find that playing yoo much also makes me crazy, so you just have to find the right balance.

| Posted by: whackadoo at February 16, 2005, 11:38 pm | | Topic: My Transition; Part 2 Forum: Bonus Whores | When all I played was tourneys I would pick and choose which tourneys I would play in. Some days I chose none. Now that I am playing more ring games I find myself getting mad. I keep thinking about all the money I am not making by not sitting in at a table. I have a bunch of sinkers to make for Friday morning delivery. Once I get them done it is back to Intertops that night (after a long afternoon nap.)
This is a new emotion for me though. With tourneys I really didn't care if I played or not. Now with the ring games and instant money win possibility I do feel "unhappy" when I am not playing. I keep saying to myself "you know you should be playing." | | Static Link |
