Hola =] I know, I know...I've been a little under the radar for so long but that's because I had to take a little break from poker for a while. I don't know guys, poker has been really upsetting and really stressing for the past 2 months. It's been such a downswing for me that I can't even read a poker book without throwing it across the room. I tried sitting at a home game a week ago and I got donkey'd out from a tourny....I was the just the second person knocked out and I was sitting there for more than 2 hours. Three hours later I sit down for a cash game and my very first hand i receive AK off, I'm in late position and 3 bet a raiser in middle...he calls and flop comes out all in rags except jack of clubs. He bets and I go all in...and remember, this is a cash game....so he tanks a little, sighs, and says, "fuck it, I know you don't have shit" and calls. He shows A6 off with no draw of any type. I flip my AK and he hits his 6 on the river and he stands up pumping his fists in the air saying how good he is in poker....wow, right there made me walk away from the table to sit on top of my car wondering why poker has ran so bad for me. So i took one whole week from poker, which is super long for me lol, and just a little fresh from it. I stayed away from any poker table, poker videos, books, mags....and even sadly, I stayed away from coinflip lol =P. I'm so behind in the poker news and vids of all sorts. I picked up a book today at Barnes n Nobles and felt sooooooo good about it lol i am currently watching the Big Game from pokerstars and amazed how lucky KidPoker is by knocking out all the loose cannons. I'm about to jump in on PS and try some .5/.10 on a short handed table....naw fuck it, ima try a tourny first. Well, I think every story has a good ending and the point of this blog is that taking a fat break away from poker can really do something good to your game.

 

I wouldn't mind some comments from players writing about how long they took breaks for and if any victories came by soon after.
