Hi all,

My goal is to fix my attitude!

I am 22 years old. Have played poker since i was 15 in live casinos games (brothers i.d) and online. I found myself emerged in all that is poker!

Now I am at a stage where I don't know what I want from the game, if anything!?

I have just played two sessions on PKR and made around $1200. which is nice...but I don't feel positive about it!? I don't know whether it's becasues over the last year I have been degening a little on electronic machines or just gambling in high stakes PLO.

I used to have goals in the game. Not anymore. I am at a point where I just think the end result is inevitable. BUSTO.

In a bad place re Poker at the moment.

I have a job but want to play poker. I used to play full time. I have played some mid to high stakes and a winning player. I'm not feeling the drive i used to?!

Anyone else been through this? Know what i mean?

Thanks all...

Im thinking of doing something around poker but not directly, sit at the tables?

So, i went to the tables and played live last night!

I think venting about it all helped. Had a lot of focus in my game. Playing £1/£2...played from around 10 - 4...made around £750.

Made some good calls and moves like i used to...just waiting for good spots holding back the gambler inside me...

Best of all i didnt once touch the house games! that sounds like nothing but some people out there will know what i mean. Even after getting 3 outed in the first orbit of the table for half my stack... TEMPTATION DID NOT WIN!

maybe don't think so much?
like the alcoholics getting clean.. they don't try to think they will nerver drink again.. they just say, I'm not drinking today.. (I saw this in a movie, not sure if true :P)

so just take one day by another? saying today i'm gonna play my a-game, nothing more.
