Seriously though a few final tables or even when your first 10 Tourneys are top 20 finishes there's no easy money in poker. I thought I was well on my way. Back then it was also a lot easier then it is now as there was just oceans and oceans of terrible players.....there's now less. I went on too have a rather meh to ok MTT winnings. I did a lot better playing micro/low stakes cash as a made good extra money each year(for stakes played) and paid for my MTT habit/dreams. Considering I was only playing micro/low stakes cash.
I meant the good luck btw way wasn't being sarcastic. I just know from 15+ years experience being a winning player at poker and cashing it out to spend isn't easy even at micro/low stakes. Being good enough at poker is the easy part though. It's dealing the variance(much higher in MTT's), being mental tough and bankroll/life management that's the hardest part. Most people simply don't have enough of them skills, talents or abilities to succeed when times get tough. It's basically not much different then running business. Most people can't do that either and fail at it.
EDIT: I'm personally thinking going back to playing more MTT's after playing the odd couple the last 2 weeks. Got the itch again and cash is starting to feel meh/grind again.
Cheers!!!
