Play something new, like PLO or Stud. A change is as good as a rest, be the fish for a while and learn the ropes at HORSE or someink.

Agreed. It's got me inspired again and it's improved my hold em game.

It's what i usually play! d'oh!

Actually had some sick sessions of late, dropped right down to 1-2 and decided to just play super lag. My last 600 hands or so i am up 13 buyins!

Could this be a turn for the better?

Prob not.....lol still can't play for more than 90 mins at a time.


The problem is now when i do play i just lose, i really don't want to play!

It's a $1k a day habit!

Get a proper job!

Got any work going?

I'm going through this at the moment but with golf, not poker. I am still technically a golf professional  but have absolutely no desire to play. Even watching the Masters is leaving me cold. I've even got myself another job!

The only answer is to take a break. Only come back if you really start to miss it. Don't beat yourself up about it - everything is as it is for a reason!

You actually just sound like you have poker in the proper perspective.

Good Luck

I must admit i'm also feeling like this at the moment i love playing poker and always will i believe but just nothings going right at the moment.Think i may stop playing holdem altogther 4 a few weeks like a couple of u r suggesting may start playing omaha hilo a really like the game.When i'm playing holdem sngs i find myself just fannying around on the web(not including blonde as fannying around of course).Maybe it would help if i start multi tabling as i only play 1 table at a time i may try playing 4 very low stake sngs at same time and see how i manage with it.GL with refinding your passion for the game m8.

The situation continues.... just not enjoying the game lately.

I have been playing for badbeat for just coming up to a year and the constant cash grind is not for me. I fell in love with the game because of tournaments and hardly play any these days.

I am going to quit badbeat and try and get my game back together. That has fallen apart too now after this shitty period.

I played 30k hands in 2 weeks and now that I hit the sickest downswing ever and giving back half of what I earned in a few k hands I really can't be arsed any more.
I'm getting very drunk this weekend to forget about it because I was getting very bored of having set over set!
