Player better players is not any fun.
Playing players that are worse feels great.
When they are worse its more relaxing and taking chances is easier.
When playing better players, every shot is stressful because the price of missing is much higher.
Just ranting
Then youre doing it wrong.
There is an old Buddhist proverb about a man being chased by a tiger through the forest.
The tiger chases the man off the edge of a cliff, and he slips down, catching himself on a vine. As he is hanging, the tiger lurks above him, growling and swiping at him.
He looks down, and sees another tiger, equally eager to have him for a meal should he fall.
Then he notices a strawberry on a vine within his reach. He reaches out and takes the berry. He eats the berry and smiles, thinking this is the sweetest strawberry he has ever eaten.
Many have interpreted the proverb to mean that the tiger who chased him off the cliff is the past. The tiger waiting below him, the future. And no matter what they hold for you, you should live in and enjoy the moment.
Now, that is all horseshit. It is about mans foolishness in the eye of danger. His willingness to give into the pleasure of eating the berry, and disregarding that he would be better served dealing with the situation at hand and trying to save himself.
But that doesnt lend itself to a feel good moment.
Quit chasing the easy happy, and learn to chase the thrill of trying to get better and win, knowing that it will not be easy, and might not seem as fun or as tasty as the strawberry.
But in the end, the happiness you will have by playing better will serve your purpose better than a brief indulgence.
