Uhh, havent played a whole lot of poker the last few days. Played some yesterday and everything went to hell. I didnt feel right from the beginning of the session and after getting flush over flushed twice and loosing some medium pots/coinflips I instatilted away one buyin before having the decency to quit with my dignity somewhat intact, but my bankroll suffering a -7k
To be honest I was sort of expecting this to happen. The last week I just havent felt like playing poker at all, and Im in a real crappy mental state when I do decide to play. I just havent enjoyed the game at all lately which obviously shows in my results. This has many reasons, but I think its to be expected. I have dropped out of school and havent done a whole lot but play poker for like two months which obviously wont work out for me. Starting sessions has also become a bitch lately. Game selection is alot harder to practice on 5/10(and also alot more necessary since there are tons of decent regulars just trading cash with eachother everywhere.) Its just so anoying to not be able to open up lobby and instantly load up 8 profitable tables.
I would prefer to have money on like 3 sites and play 3/6 and 5/10 where the games looks juicy, but this becomes such a hassle since
1: I dont have a huge fucking bankroll for 5/10 yet so I dont want to split it out over more than maybe 2 sites.
2: Due to retarded taxlaws in sweden I dont have to tax any winnings made on a site with its base in the european union, and since I prefer not taxing my swingy profits I need to play on some retarded cryptologic site or whatever.
I have my financial situation sort of covered already so Im in no real rush to play tons and tons of hands. Im going to take a break from poker for a couple of days and do other things. I might play some donkaments and maybe try to sattelite into the WSOP which would be awesome.
I truly believe that you need a balanced life to be a winning poker player, and its really necessary to do other stimulating things except playing and thiking about a cardgame all day. Hopefully I will enjoy a couple of days of reading books, working out and playing the piano and if it all goes well I will be back at the tables tearing it up in no time.
meh, now this turned out like a long rant post about nothing at all really but w/e.

You are absolutely right, why not play some 3/6 if u feel that way... more tables... weaker opponents.. easier game selection? As khan said one night, the players at 5/10 are monsters.
Its definitely a good idea to work out and do some other things that take you away from the computer sometimes. I like something mindless like watching lost,prisonbreak,csi las vegas/miami, scrubs and if i was in your position a baller television wouldnt be a problem

feel you. as much as i like to play poker, i dont really want poker to become my full time job. too sick of a life style.
poker + other activities is good.
internet poker alone for extended time perioed can drive u crazy sometimes. |

wtf?
I assure you playing wherever makes no difference. It's not like they KNOW where you won the money.
at least they didn't bother me when I didn't suck and weren't busto. |
