I think I care only about winning because it's a lot of fun and for something like playing a nice game of hold-em poker which is a field of potential opponents to take their money away from, I just want to keep on winning which means continuously making money off of them! From losing, I end up hating poker for awhile and walk away from it. It's a free country, so play something to try win whenever you are in the mood and then when it goes away from losing, take all the time you need to be away from it.
I now understand this whole mentality of taking a break from something. It's just not healthy to sometimes set a certain goal especially when it deals with gambling, and it's just better to settle with what you have right there and move on.
To keep this flow of winning going, I understand now a different perspective with playing against other opponents to take their money in poker. It's to take advantage of everything that's there for the taking. For the site I'm using, it's legal only because there's a loophole and the money that you earn comes in the form a check from a company that has nothing to do with poker. Also another one is to transfer your earnings into bitcoin and invest some more with it which is another fun way of circumventing until the government cracks down on this legit Internet casino business. Until the day it happens and then I would have to show my face at an Indian casino, I'm going to take advantage of this poker site that allows US customers.
There's definitely a winning model for me and the way I see it now is that it is gambling and all about being addicted to winning! I only care about winning and if I lose, I'm going to hate this game for awhile like it's always been. I now understand my personality. I'm only in it to win and if I start leaking out my winnings then this game starts getting boring. It's fun until the winning stops for me and then it's no longer addictive.
The best way I can relate to it is that it's like continuously keeping a money flow going while strategically playing with a winning style that I'm using like a robot now. There's occasionally some 50-50 decisions though that I have to make from using a gut feeling and it's cool if I win otherwise, I take a hit and move on. I'm basically cashing out after taking in a nice chunk of change from a random table. By doing this, it was entertaining to make like $5 in the nickel table which normally can take me two hours in like twenty to thirty minutes. It started getting boring after seeing my money go to other players so I got out once I broke or passed even again.
Overall, the Internet Poker game should be just about playing whenever you feel like it and leaving whenever you want to. It's basically about playing whenever you are in the mood until you are no longer winning and the fun just stopped to take a break and then start the cycle all over again another day you feel ready for the action again.
