It's a pretty normal phase to go through.

However, if after a long period of time, you're still like this but not winning- it could become an issue.

It's kinda like college hockey players obsessing with hockey during their stays at college. It's normal, and needs to be done, but at the end of their term, they have coaches to tell them either

a) they suck

or b) they're gonna make it

Accordingly, they either move on or keep at it.

Poker players don't have the luxury of a system in place to tell us whether or not our obsession is +EV. We've got to decide for ourselves, and it's really important that we learn to evaluate ourselves properly.
