Hehe, thanks. But little more poker. Dude, forget about steaming. Let’s say we never steamed and we always played our A-game – we would still lose.
As a matter of fact I say thank god to steaming, it makes me lose my money faster and then i can get on with collecting the pieces of my life and moving on. Without steaming I would still lose, but it would take much longer and I would waste A LOT more time.
Poker has evolved in ways that most people can’t even imagine. It takes hard work to win nowadays. Talent is no longer enough. There are no more naturals among top winning players as was the case only 5-10 years ago. All top players online are heavy grinders who spend hours every day just analyzing the poker tracker and other data collecting software. It is hard work.
Poker is hard way to have an easy living. I know guys in Czech Republic where I live who are serious grinders. They’re Poker Stars Supernova Elite players. So they basically play over 1 million hands every year. It’s a full time job. The Supernova package, once you achieve the status is worth about $130K a year. Most of these guys break even on the games and net thus 130K a year. Not bad especially in CZ, but it is hard work. And boring work at that. These guys are not gambling – they’re working. Not fun when you put it that way.
You and I, at our age and our mindset, we could never do that. So, we just need to stay away from it.
