Blackjack is gambling. I don't play blackjack.
poker is gambling. get over yourself.

This might be hard to swallow but there is a very real possibility that you were never a long term winning player to begin with. People get hot for months/quarters at a time. You might have been riding the upper track of variance and now you profits are in line with your play.
Either way, Take some time off, maybe a few months and see if your hunger comes back. Good luck.
i may have lost my edge, but i definitely had one at one point. that's what's so troubling about all of this, i think i was a very good player at one point. maybe i got too ambitious and i'm caught in some bad habits. i dunno.
i do agree that i'm too shell-shocked to judge my current play. i also know that there's no emotional influence in being able to tell that i'm far below EV during this downswing. losing 150bbs getting all in with the best of it isn't a mistake, imo.
