Default playing online gets boring!!

After Playing 5 million hands on line it really starts to get boring. Then I figure y not play a variety of games. Well the problem with this is not to many places have a lot of people that play different games. I think I need to quit cold turkey on line for a while, or start playing live games more. i have tried playing a couple games a week, but it isn't helping. It isn't that I'm getting bad beats, it's just I think I'm getting impatient. Anyone got any advice?

Take half your bankroll and buy in to a game you have absolutely no business being in.

I dunno about that, but maybe I can buy in to bigger tournaments. That will make it more interesting.

well im going to give you some advice I got from Cali and Fink that can apply here. Your impatience is more than likely losing focus in a game, because now it doesnt mean as much to you. Whether its the long shot odds at getting a big cash or the stakes dont excite you anymore, your focus is lacking.

Take out half of your bankroll and just have fun with it. Go out to eat somewhere nice, go to a sporting event, something that you will enjoy. It will be a reward to you for making money, so when you go back to play poker, you have a real feel for what your playing for. People seem to think money on a pokersite is money that is gone from your pockets. Dont think that way, think of it as an investment, and your trying to get a good return. I know the second I realized the kind of money I was making, and putting it to use, it made me want to continue to play well, and focus.

I totally agree...money on the Poker Site isnt really yours till you cash it out and you get that check in the mail. Most people will just keep it there and use it transfering back and forth to play all different sites and end up losing the majority if not all of it. Cash it out..all of it and buy something you have always wanted, take your mom and dad out spontaneously, go see your favorite band, or do something totally outrageously ridiculously fun that you may never have done.

Patience, Luck and Rule #1 are the key factors in making your game successful.

Ref is doing something totally wild with his winnings. Hes playing at our local casino Nov 17 and 18th, 100,000$ guarantee. Heres the scary part because I could never do this $500 buyin 15kchips $200.00 r/b for 7kchips. Blinds double every level after 31, all levels are 30 min.

Playing it online is not at all boring. It is really interesting to play online games. Its upto you what site are playing on. Taking interesting sites to play which make your game interesting and let you earn a lot of hared cash. Site which offers you the best online game in the business. I was supposed to start playing online game before I was knowing a least about online gaming. My friend suggested me a new online boom which made my game interesting. Life offers you the best chance only once, your part is to know what is best for you.
