I get where you're coming from, and also understand Spoon's reason for posting what he did. This is, after all, a site for people to get better at poker... and a lot of the regs invest a sh!tload of time and effort (all for free...) helping donksh!ts like me improve. So it's actually kind of insulting when someone sucks that up and then isn't willing to put in some hard work to actually use it for value...

That being said... I'll just add another perspective to the quote. I got a limited amount of time, and a f-ckload of interests. Personally, I'd rather spread my time around a ton of different things, enjoying all of them, being better at some than others, but getting to the end of my life goin f-ck... i pretty much tried just about all I wanted to.

This pretty much means I'm not gonna be the best at anything, 'cause there'll always be people willing to put more of their time into fewer things than I am. And I made peace with that years ago... I don't need to be the best at something, and don't want to if it means trading off too many other things. It ain't about work ethic, and it definitely ain't about being a pussy... it's just priorities.

That being said... don't whine if you're not willing to put in the time. Nothing pisses me off more than people giving the "God I wish I could do that..." envy bullsh!t , like being good at something is some inalienable right, and forget the single focused hard m-thaf-in work that the person who can had to put into to get there...
