    fml, im getting tired of playing these massive fields(and smaller fields, more frustrating in the rebuys playing 7k people tho) and getting fucked every mother fucking time and never getting there...oh and tomorrow is sunday....yippie....yes i know blah blah bad beats<------ but i dont care and needed to type something and rant because im pissed but not giving up. i cannot win a flip if my life depended on it and every tourny it seems im coolered/sorry for bitching/GL tomorrow everyone and oh yea Im gonna bink something :)

    P.s any tips on playing through downswings or playing less to take your mind off shit?
    I take poker pretty serious and grind almost everyday. I hate to take time off..but if things keep going the way have, that might change.

    take a day off , or a week.
    STUDY

    I talked to a really good player about this a couple weeks ago and he said to try smaller field stuff.
    IDK where u play but try the 90 man KO sngs on FT or the 180's on stars.
    It's near impossible to win a 5k field with out running like god. So drop down and play some smaller stuff and crush it to death. Then you'll feel better and come back focused and ready to go deep for some real money.

    this is really good advice.

    im the same as you, i have a hard time letting go of the standard nonsense that accompanies this game.

    i talk a lot about this in my blog, adamsapple19.com

    maybe you can find something helpful there

    Go to a smaller site and play there...new software+smaller fields might boost ur confidence. Or, take a break of a couple days and don't even think about poker...money will always be there. Or just watch vids.

    1. If poker is how you make your living DO NOT TAKE TIME OFF. It is horrible advice and people need to stop giving it. Unless you're the Governor of SC you can't just pull an Office Space and just 'not show up' to work, it's your job ffs.
    2. Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5__zd7opRY
    3. Ship some 45/90-man's (18's play too much like sng's and will tilt you even more)
    4. rub one off
    5. Crush on sunday
