Hi All,
I don't post too often but just experienced the worst negative variance I've ever had in 5-6 years of playing.
Playing deep stack 1/2 (uncapped). Got my money in good 80/20 like 5 times and lost. Also second nuts three times..house over house, Ace high flush to King against massive whales...etc etc.
Lost 6k in 4 days. 4k was horrible variance. 2k was horrible poker by me - absolute classic TILT.
Anyway, trying to take a deep breath and ask for advice here? I'm thinking of taking a long break. I can feel myself not making any solid decisions this last session and thinking everyone has the nuts ;-(
Any help welcome!
Cheers

This will probably get locked up / moved, but honestly just take a break for a few days and enjoy life. Hang out with friends, play sports, etc.
When you feel like your ready to play, drop down to 1/2 capped. Both to help build your bankroll back up and improve your confidence.

You need to reduce your stress level somehow, I suggest taking a break and focusing on something you have fun with, but is not overly challenging or competitive.
