I guess that's the crux of my quandary: a significant percentage of my enjoyment in poker is the analysis and discussion of situations, so much so that I place value on playing with people who feel likewise. Unfortunately, those players are not the players who are going to make huge mistakes and give me their chips.
So, if I want to win $$$, I need to be willing to play in an environment that is otherwise un-fun. If I want to have fun, I need to have a much lower (or even negative) EV.
Bleh!
(I suppose I could find winning chips fun, but then if all I cared about was money I would work more hours at my job.)
