Re: Negative streak - advices?
You are not alone.
Unfortunately, negative streaks affect all of us at one time.
I went the first three months of the year with only one winning session and felt like it was the end of the world. I only lost half my bankroll, but the losing just wore me down to the point that thinking about poker made me sick.
So I walked away and tried not thinking about poker at all. That didn't work so well, so I instead decided to try writing down everything that was going on in my mind and was surprised to find that it wasn't the bad beats that had been clogging my mind, but all of the theory and concepts that I had been trying to learn.
Once I got it all down on paper, my mind cleared up and poker became a game again. After watching a few episodes of High Stakes Poker [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img], I found myself wanting to play again and have since gotten back in the saddle with a more positive view and better understanding of the game.
Poker is one LONG session. There are no rules that require you to play every day and there is no penalty for taking time off.
Good luck!
