I wish I could play my A game all the time. I sit down and play so stupid/spewy tonight for no reason. I mean I guess I played decent but I would have won money instead of breaking even if I had been playing my best. Soooooo annoying.

yea, same. today i 5bet shoved 96s and 33 pf..:S

Also im pretty sure the only reason i spewed today is because im so over this game, its like when i woke up this afternoon and thought "wow another boring day of poker playing" i just went on tilt or something.

From the sound of this and some of your other posts it seems you're pretty burnt out on poker. Take a break for a while and go do some fun [censored] with the money you've won.

Being a poker pro does lend itself to being anti-social and life consuming but it doesn't have to be that way. Try to more efficiently manage your time by making some kind of schedule and stick to it for a while. But before you do any of that stuff, go have some fun, blow money on whatever the [censored] you want. Too many people lose sight of the fact that it's just a game, albeit one you can make a ton of money at. Yes, the game isn't very fun a lot of the time, but most people don't like their jobs, we at least are able to achieve hourly rates of $200-300 or more on autopilot.

Didn't mean to have this be some long drawn out post, but think about how lucky we are man. If this was an infomercial and somebody said we could be making several hundred an hour playing a card game I'm sure we'd all have thought it was way too good to be true.

With all of that said, this can still be a tough game to play on a daily basis. Not totally sure if I have what it takes mentally to deal with very common 5 buyin swings. Anybody have any tips on how to get the sand out of my vagina? Would be sweet.
