I was talking about making friends

Dating women in their 30s is a different thing from making friends
They have so much pressure on them as every year that passes there's increased risk of pregnancy complications, fertility goes down. And even if you are comfortable in your skin and kids are not important to you...you know you can't change your mind later, and as woke as society is and when we obviously don't need high fertility now there's still loads of peer pressure on women...

Obviously they are a lot more likely to be more straightforward an no-nonsense picky when it comes to partners, doesn't really apply much to friends though

I agree by the way with the notion that monogamous dating is pretty much pointless unless you plan on having kids, but pretty sure a lot of people would disagree with you there.But on the other hand when it comes to dating nobody is forcing you to date women in their mid-late 30s in the first place when you're that age?

I already said I'm not fun and exciting enough for 20 somethings (or rich enough).

I also never said that monogamous dating is pointless unless you plan on having kids. To each his own but I prefer dating lots of women until I find one to be in a monogamous relationship with whether I have kids or not. I am not really interested in any other arrangement.

If we are just talking about friends it's not impossible to make friends at 35+ Drone and myself just posit that it is more difficult. If you are finding it easy at 35 that is great. It's certainly possible. I am doing it too. So, maybe we should focus on that aspect of it but the key here is that hiems keeps putting it off and putting it off. Even if he's comfortable in his own skin as he says that doesn't mean he's actually comfortable in social situations and he could just like ease his way into socialization whenever he wants and that's not going to get any easier is my point.

Go down to 25nl and put in 3500+ hands per day rather than baby volume on higher stakes. Then move up to 50nl and 100nl when u are more comfortable with the swings at those stakes after building a bigger roll for it @ 25nl. This way you will also become a lot better poker player because of high volume. So when u do move up to 50nl and 100nl the difference is probably not as big from 25nl as u think. And u are more prepared for it on several levels.

hiems has a full time job. How in the hell is he going to play 3500+ hands per day?

Hm yeah you might be right. Thanks that is helpful advice. I have actually been playing more of 30nl since my blog post (We have that instead of 25nl) because traffic is such that even 50nl sometimes is hard to get when the traffic is low. The 8k hands was planned for 50nl/100nl which I am sure is softer than Stars but your definitely right in that its still baby volume perhaps I was underestimating exactly how many hands a month it is that you need to actually get better even if I had it in the back of my mind that I would work up towards more hands. I do have a full time job which it would be mostly fine but the way my schedule works there are going to be days off here and there and I think those days off do hurt my flow a decent amount. I might be able to change this in the future tho and there are some ways I can work around this problem.

Some additional notes

-I usually have been playing 3-4 tables before but this last session I had 6 tables of 30nl and it is super soft and the additional tables made it alot easier to achieve volume targets.
-Currently on 27 inch monitor which is the largest monitor I have ever had but kinda wish I had thought more about it and am wondering if 32inch+ or ultrawides are worth it. It seems difficult to play more than 6 tables on this setup maybe I'm doing something wrong..
-As mentioned I still want to play @ 200nl/500nl against this particular whale who pretty much is hunted by everyone on the site.

you've found the guy laliberte of 200nl on a random site

Guy wasn't actually that bad he was just playing with the very best. I would wager in 2009 Guy could beat 200 PLO if there was someway for a billionaire to care about 200 PLO.

Lol what a pussy

What if you play like 50k hands as a .1 ptbb/100 winner and make $100 then what? Just continue the plan? Would that be fun for you? We don't know much about you is true. Are you some Big Brained Scrabble Champion like Deldar? I remember when he was rising through the ranks and I was like who is this guy then I was like this guy isn't bad then he kept rocketshipping upwards. The funny thing is I don't know if that guy could even beat 500 NL these days. I'm sure he could if he put his mind towards it but I'm saying just jump right in there with 2009 skills he might get crushed. Also, I don't understand why/how you don't really have time for socialization at the moment? If poker is genuinely more fun than socialization than that is one thing. I think most people would like if not require some human connection. Maybe you get enough at work. Maybe not. I don't know. I think in conclusion at least I wouldn't value a pipe dream of being a big timer over socialization. All great players kind of valued a "pipe dream" over socialization. It's interesting to see or think about how it has paid off or not paid off for different people.

This idiot can't even beat 10nl lol

I had good intentions and I truly believe in what I wrote works in general. You are looking at these from the wrong angle, we are not trying to attack you. if you put poker in front of socialization it will be destructive for you in the long run. No matter how much money you win. It puts you in a dark lonely corner without you even noticing it. anyway this is just my oppinion, i might be wrong

Didn't say it at the time but I'm older than this retard lol.
