took a break from poker for a few days to study for finals.
came back lost a few buyins.
now i am going to play in the VIP freeroll.
then take another break from poker.
come back when i really want to play again.
it feels to much like a job right now.


what do y'all do when it feels like a job?

I remind myself that this is better than any other job i could get by a long ways. Also dude i suggest that nobody pull off these monster grind sessions playing several hours at a time.
