I think that since I got back from the Holidays that I've been playing way too much poker. Hell I played a decent amount at the end of December and then doubled down in January. Results have been overall good and I'm pretty happy with where I'm at in terms of what I've learned, bankroll, VIP level and FPP's. I think part of why yesterday was so shitty is that I just hit overload level. Too much poker and brain goes to shit.

So I haven't played any poker in the last 30 hours and that's like the first time I've gone that long without a session in a long time. Weird. Normally I'd play tonight but I have decided that I'm gonna take another night off from poker like I did yesterday and just focus on having fun with my GF. I think this little 48 hour break will be great for my game cause I'll be able to get back to playing with excitement and eagerness rather than feeling burnt out and forced to grind.

It works out well too since tomorrow is Friday and I'm not in the office. If there was ever a good time to be fresh and getting back into the grind it's when you have all day Friday to play!

I also had a really productive day at the office today. For those who don't know I am working 2 days a week at a non profit. Right now my main focus is helping to build a new website for them, plus doing random web work that comes up on their old site which they dunno how to do. We got a lot done on the new site and I was having fun all day long working on it. It's a nice feeling to get that progress made. So today I'm gonna take a break from being a poker player and enjoy the simplicity of a 9-5 job.

Sometimes poker takes it out of you. Taking a break is best for you and your game sometimes.

sounds like a great plan, should get the motivation level way up when you come back

Yeah I felt this way mid December and pretty much didn't play for like a month. Then I started again recently and have been getting completely owned at the tables lol =/

Anyways yeah that break really helps a lot when you need it.
