Retiring after a WSOP win
Grinding on the low limit levels day in and day out can be a tough challenge for anyone. Even if you are able to win a by your standard fairly big pot is not going to make you financial independent for the rest of your life.
A mistake I often make while playing at the low-limit tables is thinking of what I am going to buy with the money I win. If I on the contrary are losing money I can instead think of all the things I could have bought with the money I just lost. It’s stupid and I know so but still I can drift away in the mind imaging how many more pots I have I have to win in order to get enough money to order that new TV I have been wanting for so long.
It all would be so much easier if you could just win really big money in a matter of short time. Then you could retire and play poker sometimes and mainly because it was fun. In cash game this is not something you can expect. If you want to win a lot of money on cash games you have to be really good and play at very high limits.
So what to do? Easy, you just win a really big tournament such as WSOP or E-WSOP. The beauty of these tournaments is that any amateur can with a lot of luck win the whole damn thing against people that normally would outplay you every day of the week. Just luck at the earlier WSOP winner Chris Moneymaker. The dude could not play poker at all and could still title himself as the champion of the world in poker. And no one would argue since he actually won the whole damn thing. So all I can say is dream on, everything is possible.
