Default Re: Lacking Motivation

This doesn't answer your general question but you need to reflect on your actions in terms of the absolute value of money. Blowing $7k is the most retarded thing ever by shoving all in every hand as stakes that "don't matter." If you are doing this, you shouldn't be thinking, oh it's only 1.5 buy-ins, you should stop yourself under the realization that it's seven thousand dollars. Think of all the things you could have bought (cruise/vacation to clear your mind, etc), and start to regain an understanding of the absolute value of money. In your NORMAL game when you try to make money, you use money as a tool. However, as soon as you step out of your true game, and into another game where you no longer are doing that, you are abusing your money. As soon as this thought crosses your mind, you need to step back and say "If I shove every hand x times, I am pretty certain to lose y-z amount. Instead of shoving every hand at 1/2, I could go and buy ___." Hell, donate it to a charity. Blow it on entertainment. But shoving every hand at 200 is certainly not worth seven grand.
