Mental Strength

[john kane]

welcome to my July.

I've been playing as a semi-job the past 3 years whilst at university and over every holiday.

Usually I would play 20-30hours every week (took about 12 weeks off for holiday/exams. Last few weeks have been terrible. I can muster about 10 hours a week, always quitting sessions after an hour when i've lost some $$ and just can't be bothered to play the game. fwiw i 8 table 2-4nl, and have done so for the past 6+months (before i 6 tabled 1-2nl).

I have the same problem and do not have a solution. Right now I'm on a 50K breakeven spell, the worst spell in my last 350K hands I've played the last 12 months or so.

I genuinely have no idea, one wrong big pot call just frustrates me, and so i quit.

I think sleeping for longer hours definitely would help, plus setting times where all you will do is play poker.
