Wow - poker skills SERIOUSLY deteriorate quickly - not played poker for 10 days - just played 350 hands - dropped 3 (more) BI and generally played really bad poker - grrrr - it really frustrates me when I know I have played badly - I really need to improve my game!

Im actually feeling the opposite - havent played in about a week, but Ive been thinking so much about my game, what I was doing wrong, and how to fix it. I cant WAIT to get back into it, I feel like Im going to totally destroy the games when I get back.

One thing I experiemented with before I took a break was playing without a HUD - OMFG seriosuly the BIGGEST help ever. I never knew how much having stats on someone can influence your desicions - often in the wrong direction.

Yeah - I know what you mean about taking time off and thinking about the game - I was feeling the same, but then got to the tables and for some reason decided to play like a total donk, I don't think I was in the right frame of mind - well - its only 350 hands - will see how it develops....

Also - when you say 'OMFG seriosuly the BIGGEST help ever' are you meaning the HUD is the BIGGEST help ever, or that playing a session without a HUD is the BIGGEST help ever?

I mean turning the hud OFF was the best thing ever.
