Getting Back Into The Game After A Bad Run

Every poker player experiences a bad run in their career; play poker long enough and you will experience several. Any poker player that tells you otherwise either is lying to you or just hasn't been playing the game long enough. What separates the pros from the wannabes is the will continue knowing that with time the cards will heat up and your skills will only improve. Sometimes it's not the natural ebb and flow of luck. Sometimes you are dealt some decent hands and still can't win. Sometimes you are beating yourself. Sometimes life interferes with poker. Sometimes powering through and forcing yourself to endure loss after loss isn't the answer. Sometimes you just need to take a break. This is what I experienced over the last few months and why the Modern Grinder has been awal. When you are overwhelmed in life you become your own worst enemy at the poker table and you will not win no matter what you try. The only solution is to take a break and take care of what needs to be tended to. Come back clear headed and secure in knowing that life outside of the poker room is well managed. That's what I did and I'm back at the poker tables tearing it up having won 3 out 4 of my first sit and go tournaments (placing third third in the one I didn't win). Don't to be afraid to take a break from poker when you need to. In the long run it will make you a more well rounded, happier and much more dangerous to your opponents.
