My new novel approach to the game

lolz gl

So you are trying to get yourself to play more seriously, because the money is going to be important to a charity? hey, could work, give it a try.
I actually like this setup of making concrete change in the way you do things, instead of what most people do, they just say: "well I tilted it off, but THIS time i am going to try really really hard" pfff yeah right nerd.

But imo, you know, a big reason that starcraft players make good poker players is that they don't care about the money when they are playing. They are out to move up the ladder, to accumulate 'points'. they fight for pride not money, so they are able to do whatever is necessary in order to win. Only one question needs to be asked, are you a starcraft player?
If you are, can start bragging when you get up to a new level.
e.g. "I owned NL2 over 20k hands, built up 20 buyins for NL5 and now I am moving up. This game is too easy face trounced neck snapped etc"

Anyway, its a matter of choosing the motivation that gives the best results for you.

p.s. def a good idea to withdraw what you deposited after your first good run up. I'd wait till you hit about $50 to reduced risk of ruin, but hey.

Yeah, well to me it's virtually useless, but if I'm using it for something else it becomes more important to me.
I hadn't thought a lot about that, yeah I'm a SC player. That's defnitely something I can keep in mind haha, cheers.
Yeah, to many people this is approach is probably quite strange, but I think it will work better for me than what I've been doing in the past.
It's pretty cool cashing out after I double up+ my deposit, don't have to worry about going broke the same haha

Well why not.
Silver_nz is spot on imo for the motivation.
But if you don't need the money , it allows you to respect the money you play and you enjoy the game , hell why not ?!

Yeah for sure, at the moment it's all about the entertainment and getting good enough to keep owning these cats hahaha
When I manage to get better and move up to NL25 or NL50 I'll become a bit more interested in the coin.

perhaps you should find other ways to spend your time, surely making posts about depositing 10$ and what not is...........

Ur post makes no sense for me.

What logical person, would care about losing 10$, then say he cant take the stakes he is playing seriously, then say he wants to donate to charity because he isnt sure if he can beat 10nl...

Haha no worries, it's not a particularly straight forward situation, I'd talk to you about it over a beer but to lazy to try to convey it more than I have via my keyboard
