So last month was great for me. Put in the most hands I've ever put in and had the best results I've ever had. But it really burned me out. I couldn't find the mental energy to just sit down and grind cash. So did I stop playing and take a break? No. I thought I could do well in other forms. Played some HU...lost to some pretty horrendous coolers. Played some MTTs...not enough to create a sample. Played some $12 turbo 180s/45 mans...DID NOT GO WELL. So here I am...and I've got the urge to grind again. I'm $868 in the hole this month...-$418 in MTTs/SNGs and -$450 in HU. I hope I can battle out of this hole for the month and put up some positive numbers.

MAIN POINT
I know people get burned out all the time and people deal with it in different ways. I will suggest just stepping away from the game completely. Maybe enjoy it with a couple live games(this is what started my passion for grinding in the first place). Step back and reflect. This game is a beast...but with enough dedication it's very beatable. Don't play for the sake of playing. Play with a purpose. I have mine again...look out ya'll.
