My girlfriend recently dug up Hitman: Silent Assassin and was asked me to play it with her .Well, it's a single player game so it's more like taking turns in trying strategies to get a Silent Assassin rating. While we were playing, she gets miffed when I just go guns a' blazing when I can't wait long enough for a silent kill. Kind of odd since I've finished this game at least twice before, and I've always regarded this installment of Hitman as the easiest. (Hitman Contracts takes the cake for challenge, Hitman Bloodmoney had better graphics and control but the challenge was meh). Then it hit me: this sounds eerily familiar to me. It sounds a lot like my poker recently, just substitute "guns a' blazing" with "spazz" and "silent kill" with "a better spot".
I mentioned this to my girlfriend. Her suggestion: Finish the game as a Silent Assassin before starting grinding seriously again.And the more I think about it, the more it sounds like a good idea. If I can't even be patient with something recreational like this game, then how can I expect to be patient in my grinding? If in my ventures, my impatience may get results (usually because the people I handle feel like they need to give results right away around me), but it doesn't really translate well to poker, and it doesn't work all the time. Maybe I still carry that mentality from the busy weeks I've had recently - and that has to go.
Anyway, it's nice to learn things about yourself; Poker is all about self improvement anyway. It also helps a lot to have someone who cares so much about you that she supports you in everything you do, even if she doesn't particularly like what it is you do.
bro i think i know how you feel. usap tayo pag nagkita tayo. about grinding for a limited time, asked the pro (11F) for advice. pero it wasnt much of an advice. more of an inconvenient truth right in my face.
