How to get motivated to play? (serious topic) - Page 3

long term goal is what you need? e.g house? go for it start by pointing out the goals which are related to poker/money and go for it... let says make a goal save 10K a month

your problem is that you have no ambition that currently relate to poker, if you had you would be motivated. there's nothing you can do, you don't force ambitions, you don't perform by wanting to perform, it simply doesn't work. if you have ambitions non-related to poker then just pursue that. if you have no ambitions at all then try to figure out what you really like in life and it'll come by itself. i'm in the same boat and it's why i don't currently play. it's kind of a shame to shit on a really good hourly rate just because we're not motivated to do something, but poker isn't going anywhere anyway.

this is how i feel >_<

When I stare into the eyes of Antonius it's like I'm staring into the eyes of God.

go on a really big downswing, that should motivate you

for every hour you dont play poker now, you will spend 5 times more, working on a job you hate after 10 years. think about this

ask yourself why you play.

is perisie just a huge troll or what?

i get motivated when i tell myself that i'm going to play good today and win some money

Sounds like you have too much money. Go spend some, then look at your bank account for motivation.

perisie is so fucking wierd

if you play a donkament while you grind you have to grind til you bust out

haha

I find waking up in the morning instead of the afternoon gets my fired up and ready to play much more than otherwise.

hahahaha i couldn't help but laugh :D

You can temporarily generate motivation by running propbets with friends based on volume and/or profit over small periods of time. If it's over a longer period of time someone will probably get really far behind and give up. It actually works pretty well if you have a competitive nature, regardless of how much you put up.

GENIUS.
totally forgot how well this shit works. need motivation right now too. Rush is gonna get a nice br fucking the next few weeks.

i was thinking of having a propbet for volume amongst other players(300 each or more then loser doesnt get his money back etc). might help with hand volume woes. havent played this month 35k hands only, breakeven total this month meh
