I'm off for a while

It seems I can't do much right on here at the moment, poker wise that is. Had lots and lots of freak beats tonight and it's following a pattern so the best thing to do is take a break. I'll be sniffing around occassionally so you'll still need to behave yourselves. Catch you all in a few weeks.

Take care,

Elsa

    I too went through a spell where I could not do anything right. No play worked, no cards good enough etc. etc.
    I, too, in the end went on an extended holiday from the tables. I had exactly a month off, no more, no less. (the last days dragged, I can tell you) but I was determined not to come back before I felt ready.

    I stayed on the site, visited friends and posted but no way was I going to sit at a table.

    It was by far the best thing I ever did. I came back refreshed, the money I lost was recouped quickly and felt generally happier in poker.

    The only thing I have done upon my return is drop the level I play at, my confidence left me and to date has not really returned for that level.

    Coincidentally, I have just posted a long comment (one day I promise everyone I will post a one liner) in the strategy section 'are the forums making me play better.' It may help.

    During my enforced absence I used that time and also read five poker books I purchased from Amazon. Go have a look and grab yourself a bargain, Literally three of them were less than £1.00 each! (p&p was dearer) I'm in no way saying you need the tutoring, forgive me if you think that but it helped me get my daily fix and I picked up a few tips on the way.

    Enjoy your break and I'll speak with you soon.

    Thanks for the pleasantries ( and the not so ) I'll be back soon. I've played long enough to know that when it goes like this it's best to take a rest. I will still be playing elsewhere in the meantime.

    On the book thing, Hale, I can probably supply the shop. :)

    Regarding area 51, Jamie, if you take the time to look you'll find I post there a lot. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I do know that luck isn't smooth, it runs in ups and downs and I'm in a down at the moment. I'll be back in a few weeks or so.

    Oh and MH45706 I will shut the door. Shouldn't you be tucked up in bed at this time?

    Benny catch you later m8 and stay lucky.

    All those bad beats, i get loads of them, i find it helps if afterwards i say to myself - But did i play it right, if no then i learn, if yes then thats fine forget it these things happen in poker i win in the long term if i make the correct plays. You would be saying something similar to others, its good advice ( i think) it just seems like the poker gods are against you, please come back soon refreshed and ready, and remember a post you wrote about 95% of players losing - well your in the 5% so chin up lol

    Thanks Jim but therein lies my problem. I managed to donk off 19,000 chips in a matter of minutes last night. There are some big holes in my game at the moment so a bit of time away from the tables is called for............now where's that puncture-repair kit?

    3 to 1 it is Kev....shall we say 50p? ( I might actually win this one)

    I thought I'd give it one more go tonight in the BH. Only played 2 hands. Waited a while for an opportunity. First hand had my PP busted by running diamonds for his flush. Second hand got called (30% of his stack) with 97os for him to hit the straight.

    Oh well, catch you all at the tables some other time.
