Poker poker poker. I took a month off from the game in June and had a horrific time getting back into the 2/4 and 3/6 games on Stars during July. In late July I started playing fewer tables and had some initial success but then suffered through the longest break-even stretch I'd ever encountered [100k+ hands]. It began with me running terribly, but by the end I just wasn't playing winning poker.

After taking another short break I decided to move down to 1/2 to regain confidence. Things have gone very well so far as I've managed to maintain a $220/hr pace over 34,000 hands. I'll probably play a few more weeks of 1/2 then start mixing in some 2/4.

I'm still not really enjoying the game, though, and I just can't imagine myself ever moving past 5/10 or even 3/6 at this point without re-discovering the passion required to continue improving.

nice to see you are back on the up and up at least. 10+ptbb u sicko. if you still feel burnt out try playing some razz or omaha or stud. try out all the games maybe youll find something you like.

ya a 13 bb/100 for 30k hands is definitely the way to gain some confidence back

The probability of someone watching you is proportional to the stupidity of your action.

Yeah I actually mail-ordered a ton of barbie dolls, tore off their faces, and have lined them up around my computer to provide "support" when I play.
