we've played against each other some, but nothing too eventful

in the last few months I've decided that being nice to get along with everyone is not the way I want to live my life. Maybe I've been inspired by all the Ghandi and MLK bios I've recently read. I'm a crotchety old-man fighting to make the world a better place. I've seen sports continually get cheapened as ESPN raises more and more sports 'fans.' So, I'm trying to take sports back. I see many, many, many outlets encouraging a focus on obtaining the wrong stuff in life, so I try to add in my 2 cents about what will make people happy in the long run. Thus, you can explain my posts on poker being one of the greatest recreational hobbies one can do, but a crummy job. Then, I've ruffled a bunch of feathers on the whole PPA thing. I share the same end goals as my most vocal opponents. I, too, want a healthy online poker industry with access available to as many adults in the world as possible. I just think going through Washington right now is up there with the worst possible strategy one could take.

Thus, I'm not making many new friends in this forum
oh wellz... I realized this would start happening when I decided to start speaking out on topics that I'm passionate about. Minority viewpoints that do not back down are not welcomed.

add some random song quote and you become the new phillipemoren

I actually try to spend my Mondays studying up on poker simply because the games are usually the worst.
of course, this is not always the case. one must stay on top of 'holiday' Mondays.
also, I don't follow any rule like that as though it were carved in stone. Sometimes, I just want to play, or am feeling good about my game. However, the default is for me to get my studying done on Monday. Then, take Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday off. Then, play Friday during the day. Then, it's the weekend!

if you read the behavioral finance and/or behavioral econ literature, your stance on wanting to be up a few buyins and then quit is actually the normal human response in monetary matters. We are not risk seeking animals. We love consistent small positive climbs. We take that nearly every time compared to booking a huge win with the possibility of a ton of small losses leading to it.

Humans are funny puzzles, yo

However, you don't need any advice IMO. You already 'see' the conflict. You just have to accept it and find a way to move past.

Monday is usually an off day for me to b/c I usually play all day Sat & Sun. Monday might not be THE worst day of the week to play, but it has to be one of the worst imo.

anyways, ur VP$IP is 16.8 over our history and i run at 16.5 total. biggest difference in our games is i'm at 8.2 PFR while ur at 14.1 PFR. me personally i like to see flops cheaper sometimes even if i'm first in, but that's just me. from what i remember of you, (if u r JoeIngram) i thought you seemed pretty aggro and i certainly prefer sitting to ur left

i certainly thought you were capable of making some plays and not just an ABC player as many r at the $100NL

i will defintly be playing more in july but this month have been doing the family things/vacationing

i also hope to be more active on here as well, i like this thread

I do bad on weekends and good on weekdays, weird. But my sample size for weekends is much much smaller, considering the 5-2 ratio and I play like every 4th weekend.
