been doing some self reflection, and upon reading manyards blog everything seems much clearer
what is poker to me? money.
sure, its fun to learn and improve at the game, and sure, i enjoy the challenge of competition, but in the end, if there was no money in poker i'd still be playing stacraft. poker has given me the spending money to get through the last few years of uni. although ive never made it as big as most of the respected regs on these forums, ive still been able to fund whatever i wanted to buy and not worry about depleting my savings. but ever since i started work a year ago, the spark to win at poker just hasnt been there. ive had a few disaster sessions where ive lost a few k, and afterwards, instead of studying my mistakes i'd just write it off as running bad
i read somewhere that you shouldnt think of money as just a number, but things you can get with that number. so in my life, what do i need money for? in the next year i want to be able to purchase a decent place to move out in, as well as go on an overseas trip. considering the house prices in Australia this is impossible on my salary. in short, until i earn enough at work (hopefully within 2 years), poker is going to have to supplement my income.
i played about 5h of poker so far today, which is probably the most ive done in a LONG time! time to buckle down and grind out another few hours! FOCUS!!! i know if i work hard i can do this.
GL at the tables everyone (if you managed to read this far)
