In the winter when it is cold, snowy and icy outside, I stay in and play poker...in the summer when it is very hot outside, I play poker...in the spring when it is rainy, I play poker...in the fall when it is windy outside, I play poker...I do, however, limit myself to playing on days that end in "y".
Let's play poker Heads Up vs me?
Here is what I bet:
24hr * 365days * 100years = 876.000 hours.
876K hours this is your starting stack.
but
- Will you live 100 years?
- 30% is sleep time, exclude it.
- You've lived several years already.
- You've just paid me a small ante by reading this post, and you will pay another ante thinking about it.
Now if you're good at poker maths, you can calculate how much effective time you've got left in your life. Then think about how much time you've already spent for playing poker and how much more time you're willing to spend on poker. What you're getting from poker? Little bit of serotonin mixed with small portions of adrenaline? - Yeah that's all. Money? You have millions of ways to make money, good salary combined with desired job is always more than average income of poker player in many countries. But if you start or own a business, then who knows. Atleast you will live a interesting life, instead of sitting at a chair and looking at pixels at your monitor with faith that you're observing CARDS. LOL! Got it? You don't even see people and don't even feel cards in your
hands dude! You always see pixels at your monitor, and that's how you want to live your life in the summer/winter/spring and autumn? Proud of yourself? Or maybe you can lift your bottom and do something useful for yourself and for the society?
Hey what is the useful product that you're giving to the society when you're playing poker all year long? What do you create, that can be used? Nothing. You're slowly killing your time. But Hey-HEY-Hey!! Can you kill time? Nope. You can burn the oxygen in air, your make vacuum and get rid of the air, you can destroy your PC, crush your chair, you can "kill" material objects... but you can't kill the time, you can't touch it, can't see it, all you can do is to measure it.
BUT
Can the time kill you?
Tick-tack-tick-tack.
876K I've won a chip from your stack.
BUT
Why my stack isn't growing?
