[Tizerd]

I thought I would post this here to get some of your thoughts.... I see alot of posters I don't recognize, for those of you who haven't played with me I was a long time regular, winning player on the party 5/10 and 10/20 games, under the names "liquidfarts" and later "tizerd." Been playing now under "mizzles" on FT. I'm sure at least some of you have an idea of who I am...

Not sure the reason but over the past 6-8 weeks I've lost all desire to play poker. WTF? I've gone from a "can't wait to get in there" 12-tabling freak to almost nothing. I play for 10 minutes now and I want out. I guess it's no coincidence I'm running horrible, but I've been through bad streaks before and never lost the urge to play like this. I've even stopped monitoring (for PT) which is something I've never done. And there have been no significant changes / distractions in my life I can blame it on.

In a way I guess it's good (frees me up to do other things), in many ways it's bad, regardless I just don't understand it.

Have any of you been through anything similar? Just a phase? Permanent? Should I force myself to play? Try changing it up to stars? I was so into this game, I think I still love poker and "want" to play just don't have the desire anymore. I think the loss of sparks has affected my game (dropped a notch), no longer do I analyze my mistakes, think about ways of improving my game, etc...

Obviously impossible questions for you to answer but just wanted to get your thoughts...

Thanks
