It was more of simply, "I need to take a step back from the GAME, and reevaluate it."<br /><br />I've been getting crushed on sick beats, too many to write about. And it's really led me to question myself as a player. I haven't picked up a lot of large pots recently, and I've lost a lot. Regardless, I have to chalk it up to a really bad run for sure.<br /><br />My frustration was simply growing, and it spilled over in the home game. I needed to walk away, cool down, and think about something other than poker. It just really bothered me that I was that upset over poker. It shouldn't be that way. But this game can do that to you sometimes. So I took a few days with no play. <br /><br />I'll post about my ideas in the next day or two. I think that I've got a winning concept with @SebastianRocks contest. I think it's what I needed. <br /><br />Thanks for the support man. I REALLY needed it.Paul Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13161084653768236188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6022160719541201113.post-61779689677459393782009-05-04T10:46:00.000-07:002009-05-04T10:46:00.000-07:00Man, you can take a break, but don't quit.

If cards you play consistently lose, don't play them....any, just my thoughts. And don't let a "game" become not fun :-)Street3noreply@blogger.com
