Maybe one day I'll be a good poker player.
I used to think I was a decent poker player. Now I've accepted the fact that I am not. There's lots of reasons I'm not a good player but the main reason, apparently, is because I don't want to be. I don't show up to a game to be a robot all night I go to have fun.
Sometimes I start a night of poker trying to play well but ultimately I regress. The other night I was so bored that I open raised almost every hand to 8 bucks for 3 orbits. Probably not the best poker strategy but it was fun. I also called a short stack's all-in preflop bet with A2 suited and another big, $50, preflop raise with A5 suited.
I like to gamble and when the cards fall my way early I like to gamboool more. Last wednesday I dam near made an insane call with AK off because it looked like the pot was going to be 3 ways for 500 apiece preflop. I was looking for any reason I could find to make the call. I convinced myself that the one guy was on a steal but ultimately couldn't get AA or KK out of the other guy's hand.

Playing for fun and actually enjoying yourself, win or lose - you're a much better player than the "robot" who shows up and grinds out that 4BB/hr win and can't ever crack a smile.
