The problem is a lot of players (me included) get their "fun" from making money and clicking that withdraw button. So when you're running bad and a game you don't particually enjoy as much anymore is actually costing you money, you think why do I bother? That's when a player's true colours come out and shows how they react when things don't go their way.
A losing player, almost expects to lose, and any return they get on their investment is a bonus. So winning is a surprise rather than expected.
I think its very sad to see people say they dont enjoy playing. Surely enjoyment and quality of life is more important than grinding and not enjoying making a modest profit in poker? Ok if you dont have enough income and you rely on this poker money then fine but I imagine thats very exceptional.
Most of us earn money and we can either die with it in our bank account or we can spend it. So after necessities we spend it on pleasure. I dont see playing poker as any different to going to the cinema. paying for tv subscription etc. Personally I play because i really enjoy it and provided im not losing more than i can afford there is no issue.
