K it was Halloween (went to a nice party with my gf, its nice to get trashed once in a while), I had a huge hangover on Saturday and spewed out about $250 at NL25 and NL10.

Then I set myself a goal that I will not play at all on Sunday and just watch videos. I was so tired that I couldn't focus on the vids and instead I spewed out another $150 (when I clearly set a goal in my mind that I will not play)

My work is real busy these days (year end is approaching which involves a lot of stuff to do if you work in a Sarbanes Oxley/Risk and Governance Finance reporting team) and with that comes a lot of stress. On top of it I have largely neglected the learning part of my job/1year placement.

I know its taking me too long to adjust but I used to play 9 tables 6 hours/day day 7 days a week and didn't have to do anything else than grind apart from some studying once per month, and I simply can't get the balance right just yet.

Its really pathetic that with my knowledge I easily crush NL2-NL50 when I am alert, but because the neverending spew sessions where I burnout and don't think about what the fuck am I doing and lose at least 10BI's within tens of minutes make me a loser at NL25 and breakeven at NL10.

I am taking a week off to think about things and to focus on my work properly and then I am giving myself until end of January to find a balance in my regime otherwise I am done with poker until I finish my Placement in the summer. Grinding when you are a just a student/poker player full time just seems so god damn easy to me now.

You should really look into hiring a psychic detective who tells you beforehand when you are about to start a spewing session and alerts your GF.
