Q_Q

The paragraph where you basically describe knowing what to do but not doing it really sums up a lot of my failures as well. I know the frustration that comes from that. Just work on discipline overall and things will get better imo.

stop playing wow that shit is retarded

Same here. I guess this is a problem a ton of players have. It is all mental stuff and it's really hard to improve in this department.

Dont play WOW, play SC! Ive been playing again this week on ICCUP and fuck is it hard, I think I got to B6 on WGT back in the day pretty comfortably but now even games at D level are a grind
It is fun tho because like 80% of the players rage way harder than in poker which is silly because there is no money involved, but its always nice to make ppl flip out by beating them with 2002 builds and horrid macro :D

Btw naz are you playing the tsl? I think I saw u and u had like a B rank ?

I played some iccup last season, got B+ playing against koreans only but became very very bored. I was going to play TSL but decided not to because I simply don't care about the game enough anymore and would rather "waste" my time on a game that I semi-enjoy than one that I don't enjoy and actually tilts me at times. I definitely rage at SC sometimes too, though I generally don't rage in the way that most people do, I just quit without saying gg and just feel hot and bothered IRL rather than start typing a whole bunch of insults etc like most of those newbies do heh.

People may say that WoW sucks and is a waste of time etc, but so is every other game. Fact of the matter is, I'm going to waste my time doing something when I'm not pokering, it mayaswell be something that I enjoy at the time, and right now that's WoW. It has changed from time to time in the past, sometimes I play SC, sometimes WoW, sometimes Diablo2, sometimes a new game I buy, sometimes I'll just end up watching a whole bunch of DVDs and/or poker videos, but right now it's WoW. I used to have a problem with that, but I don't anymore because I've come to the conclusion that whatever I do at my computer other than poker related activities is a "waste of time" in the grand scheme of things and only serves as entertainment, so it doesn't matter what I do in that time as long as it's enjoyable.

Ive never played WOW but I did play a game called Tibia for a bit over a year which has the same concept only with rly bad graphics and I ended up with the conclusion the whole leveling up and getting equip, camping spawn sites and killing monotonous enemies for hours and hours was no fun,you could never get as strong as the sickos who play 24/7 and they can kill you at any point making all your hard work and effort and sacrificed fun go down the drain causing you to wonder why you did it in the first place, that got me off RPG games forever and I thoroughly believe them to be a waste of time unlike BW which is still fun always.

QF-MFING-T

Yeah I just had a similar convo with my girl about this! She was talking about how me rewatching LOST was a huge waste of time and I said that whatever I do for fun will be a waste of time, so it's most important that I watch something I enjoy. She hates to rewatch anything, likes to always watch new things. I love to rewatch movies/shows I liked, or to replay games I liked. And if you're wasting time, waste it doing fun things =)

Nothing bad about rewatching or wasting your time doing something fun, I actually rewatched Buffy a few months back (yeye im a fag so what) and a bunch of anime, but I just hate RPGs with passion and consider them to be beyond time waste and the equivalent of mental torture.

u shoulda played in the tsl and owned

gl on coaching if you do, i do same as well with WoW here im re-making my bankroll that i cashed out almost all few months ago, so playing in small limit's is kinda painfull, so much tilt..
i play this game for refresh my mind.

Well I do agree with you on the RPG hate =) I never get into any of those games, and WOW is a game I greatly disliked. I played for 2 hrs and then turned it off forever, gave the game to a friend. But, to each their own. I'm sure some of the games I play for fun would be considered a waste by others.

rewatching stuff owns

how much do you charge for coaching?

I have no idea. I guess I should've said this in the original post, but the first person I'm gonna coach is not going to pay me anything. Right now I just want to get some experience with a micro/low stakes player and try to turn them into a winning low/mid stakes player. I'm not trying to teach a micro/low stakes player for profit, eventually if/when I get around to coaching for profit my market is gonna be midstakes players who actually have some $ to their name already and whom I can charge a worthwhile hourly. First though, I want experience and I want to know that I'm actually good at it before I try my hand with midstakes players. If I successfully transfer some micro stakes player into a reasonable low or mid stakes player then I'll probably try my hand at turning a midstakes player into a "high" stakes (like $3/$6+) player without charge, and then if I'm successful with that also I'll have a couple of students who can give me some positive testimonials and I'll start charging midstakes players for coaching or potentially make videos for a training site. Will just have to see how this goes first though, but that's the plan.

from reading all your posts on the forums i think you'd make an awesome coach.
also don't play wow, find something fun instead
although i just got a free 7 days from blizzard for christmas break and all my friends have started again...

Dude. WoW is different from other forms of time wasting. First of all, its on the computer and is addictive. This means, you can easily just play WoW instead of poker. Also, its generally a good idea to spend as little time on the computer as possible. It is not healthy to play poker and when you arent playing poker, playing WoW. I dont know if you ever get worn out after spending a lot of time doing something on the computer, but that happens to me when i play WoW. It sounds like it does to you too since you're treating poker like a negative, 'Poker is just extremely boring when you're constantly losing to morons and running bad and games are a good escape'. Games are a good escape though, but addictive mind-numbing MMO shit isnt the answer.

I have lost all respect for the designers of that game. I've been at the #1 DPS spot in sick raiding guilds consistently and played 3v3 to 2496 with best in every slot items. I had 65k gold when i quit and had the sickest coordination and tactics via skype with PvP teammates. I checked MMO-champion all the time to monitor the upcoming changes in the game and the developers decision making processes. The game has little to no skill when you're playing with good players in both PvP and PvE. If you care about balance, the developers in that game will never balance it so the PvP side of it is retarded. If you like rerolling skillless FOTM classes for PvP then w/e but im pretty sure if you participate in PvP you're not on that level.

If you're just playing it to kill time and slay rabbits or something then i'd highly suggest you find a different activity - it can be a time wasting game if you like but at the very least please let it require some sort of thinking or strategy.

I just feel very bad for anyone who gets stuck into the game now as i was hooked on it twice over the past ~3 years and didnt realise what the game was until i was top rated and rocking PvE mechanics. Please stay away from that game. I just hope you take me seriously :/

WoW isn't that bad, it's nice to play a simple game to get your mind off things, especially if you can have fun with friends while doing it.
but yeah pve is easy and pvp is imbalanced.

Best of luck though !
