Poker is brutal no matter how you go about it.
If it's not brutal - you're simply on a hot streak, or playing in unbelievably easy games.
Poker at the end of the day, is a matter of who cracks mentally. It is just so tedious. You can see this in live games for small stakes most clearly when someone gets bored after a couple hours of shit cards and does something he/she would never do an hour in. They call it tilt, I call it your inner wisdom letting you know you're wasting your life away.
