    Hi,

    Been playin poker about 3 years now. Havent had any real success, but havent played MTTs for over 5$ either (roll managment) But I have been very
    passionate about my poker education, reading books, -forums, listening every podcast available, watchin every poker show out there, watching PXF
    videos, reading poker blogs etc.

    I have a dayjob wich is great both in money and opportunity and I have always considered poker as a hobby, but a very passionate hobby.
    Im litterally Phil Hellmuth of online poker in terms of cryin everytime a get a nasty beat :) For them its just poker, for me its my #1 hobby :)

    Cashed out 3 days ago and then all the drama started - insane bad beats - every 2 outer hit against me, 3 outer was normal etc. Have played about
    500+ HU sngs and my ROI on those was 10% day before yesterday but it dropped to 6% within 2 days. And then went on a monekytilt and obv busted
    it all...
    And self-excluded myself from FTP for max, 6 months.

    Anyways, feelin pretty low at the moment - all this work seems to look so freakin pointless. Poker is the only game where correct decisions
    get punished like that. I really feel like this pain isnt worth it in terms of correct desicion and a outcome/result. Yeah I know u gotta
    roll with the punches yadayada, but when u loose like that 30+ buyins, it all starts to look a bit degenerated. And it isnt my first time to have a swong like that. Im very dedicated and big
    believer of hard work, but...its just not fun anymore.

    Have u been in this point and how the hell did u make it back?!

    Know how you feel. I have been there a few times too but you just need to keep believing as it sounds like you are doing all the right things. A complete break helps me re-focus. I find too that a big win always seems to come when you least expect it. Hang on in there and you will re discover your love for the game. Good luck!
