Mental Game - The Process Model

Odd question, but all the time I spend playing (or certainly mostly all).
I play two evenings per week, and can play three on occasion. Usually something like 10-15 hours each week, but nearer 10 most.
I also take equal enjoyment from studying the game and working on all these different elements. I think a lot of the skills here are very transferrable to other parts of life.
Is there a suggestion from you that if you take it a bit more seriously and put work into improving you cannot enjoy the game? Or am I reading too much into your question? I suggest that it is much more enjoyable for many players when they do work on their game and figure out how to get the best out of themselves and study how to win.

I think the suggestion is that work and study doesn"t sound like fun to some people.
I"m more enjoying studying other things than poker at the moment but I fully agree with the principle that studying the game can be enjoyable as well as playing it.
VBlue:
Sure - I can see that. Some people want to just play, I get that. I have been the same for much of my poker playing time.
I guess I"m talking to those people who want a little more, or certainly want to give a little more of themselves to the game.
Maybe a recreational player who sees poker as a semi-pro income.
Fatcatstu:
Sorry, work has put me in an utterly vile mood, that was of no use to anyone and utterly pointless to a good thread that people are enjoying.
Apologies again
VBlue:
Cheers Stu.
I haven"t come on to be hostile. I hope I haven"t been.
I get a fair bit of free time in the day and I like to talk about poker and explore ideas and thoughts. The forum was looking a bit quiet and I hoped to stir up some lively conversation. I blog too, so it helps me with ideas for that too.
