Jimmy, I think what your trying to say is you play poker for the challenge of it, not to make money.
Am I alone in thinking this is the dumbest advice to give? If I want a challenge, I'll wait till I'm in the final few hundred at the WSOP next year
, or hell, even playing against members of this forum in the league. A challenge is all well and good, but to be a winning player and get bankrolled for the bigger games where you can actually call it a challenge, you have to play with players who are WORSE than you, its as simple as that.
