Life and poker

It is hard to face the music from time to time.... When you can't get over that break up, a death in the family, problems at home? I have currently been through u huge downswing and realized i wasnt playing poker anymore.... i was self destructing under my own cares and worries and letting it spill out into my poker game. I have always been in control of my emotion, until i got dealt a world of problems all at one time... sometimes you gotta deal with your life before you are able to handle the felt. Next time you see yourself experiencing a downswing, dont blame it on cold cards automatically, step back and look at your current situation. Sure sometimes it is just a cold run, but more often than not it is a problem with you. I know that all this is already common knowledge, this is more or less a hidden vent post! best of luck out there fellas!

the man talks sense....

I can relate to what you're saying.

Sometimes what is happening in your life can creep up and cause your poker to suffer.

If I have a bad run, cold cards or cr*p life, I drop the poker for a day or 2, and read, play ps2, watch films.

Usually back playing in 24 hours though...poker junkie

gl in your games and life

I have been the same and started to get away from playing at a certain poker site where people tend to suck out alot. I was constantly depositing there and building up my bankroll then i would have one of those days and lose everything. Days when no matter what you do you just can't win. I don't have alot of time to play anymore because of my family but then you get days like that and you just lose. I can't stop playing because it might be the only chance i get all week but I can't win. Think I went off the subject a bit but I have been doing better now that I stopped playing at this site(rhymes with joker and ends with stars)
