Here's what you should really do though. Play omaha for a while, that'll put **** in perspective.

No online, no live, no 2p2, no videos, no study, no thinking about poker.

Good luck.

THanks Caligula! Sounds like a good idea. I was just about to study some more books, get online and grind then go play live. However, when I look back at that routine, it is exactly the same routine I've been doing for the past 3 months although I've only been on the downswing for a month. So I guess it would be good to break that routine... I guess that also means no reading twoplustwo!

Thanks for all the advice guys.

So you play twice a week and are complaining you haven't cashed out in a month....call me when you put your hours in like 10 hrs a day/ 6 days a week.

i started playing poker 2 years ago and have been running bad since then... Its just variance... i play $1/$2 live and stuck around $37000 so far in 2 years...

So what?

i have a friend who plays live 1knl, won a donkament for 18k 2months after he even learnt that a flush beat a straight, kid turned pro playing 1knl and has dropped 80k from "variance". yes 80k, but its just bad luck you know, no need to drop down stakes or work on your game, when its just variance. his lucky his parents are filthy rich..
