We are going through a very similar state of affairs. Even without trying I too am taking some time off from poker. I am involving myself in more of our family business and other non-poker enterprises while I collect myself. I know that I am not a bad player but I am really getting down on myself for my lack of winning plays.Even the three flushers are making it to the river and busted aces, top pair, two pairs or sets by the time they hit the river. If I chase a flush with a nine, they have the ten, or a ten and they have the jack. Whatever. So time off sounds good to me as well. I might just go play live instead. While it might be no different at least there will be a person that I see doing this and instead of me guessing it might just be the online site that does not like me. Lol.

At first, I decided, "just play it out" but after days and days of being coolered and losing to 67o when he shoves all in preflop and I have AK, or I have JT on JT5 board and poorly played "slowplayed" pocket kings shoves all in and then hits his K on the turn... etc, I think I need to take a break.<br><br>I read a thread awhile ago that a downswing can cause you to enter the session expecting to lose, and can cause you to make both spewy and nitty weak plays in spots where if you had a better mentality and weren't tilted you would do better.<br><br>So personally, I think I'm going to take a week off. :). <br><br>Maybe try dropping down a couple of limits to boost your confidence?

I read a thread awhile ago that a downswing can cause you to enter the session expecting to lose, and can cause you to make both spewy and nitty weak plays in spots where if you had a better mentality and weren't tilted you would do better.

So personally, I think I'm going to take a week off. :) .
