playing when you feel like it

i feel like playing now......but is still bust

this is not an observation of the present site situation, merely welcoming honest opinions.

why would you play when you dont want to? makes no sense in any universe

i have taking it upon myself to do the same since the start of the year and must say it is the best poker decision i have ever made

you have answered your own quandry with the question itself, if your heartys not in it -dont touch it.

i used to just play whenever i had a spare hour to kill and yet didnt really feel like it, just dove in

used to sit and play most evenings and automatically kept going as stakes were low but didn't really enjoy it, now i enjoy it much more but only when i feel i want to play.

but last night looking for a quickish game entered the non-turbo holdem by mistake! Was playing for 4 and a half hours and got second though.

^^its either bingo turbos or that (15 min blinds)on the whole not much middle ground i`m afraid ,thats why i`m playing elsewhere now

There is something in what you say. You do need to be in the right mindset to make money at poker. If you are not then you can lose money very quickly.

I find it is best playing in the morning when your brain is fresh. Playing late at night you might feel you are OK but in reality you are probably missing a lot of opportunities, and even possibly occasionally folding hands when you fail to spot you have made a straight etc.

If you have a run of bad beats it can affect your play, and a rest is in order. Similarly if you have a run of outrageous good luck you might get overconfident and kick off a bout of reckless play.
