*LOL*
I am so bad at this game sometimes. Played PLO and manged to do $80 in about 25 minutes, for some reason thought it was a good idea to get it allin with KKxx preflop TWICE. Like I said I am a fish sometimes.
Might try Brendans suggestion of trying ipoker again. I have spent great amounts of time trying to write up notes on players etc but the Pokerstars player base is so damn big they are useful so rarely. Will leave it until next month though, at least I was still up overall of January if only a very small amount (was down in cash but tournaments saved me). I will post the full result at months end.
I have a small bet on Palace tonight to win their game at Legoland as well. They are 1-0 down after 5 minutes.

Due to really REALLY struggling for motivation recently I have decided an extended break from poker is needed. Not sure what the problem is but right now I can"t be bothered to actually make an effort and play properly whenever I play. Last night played and lost two buyin"s by basically just playing silly and making calls for large amounts when I knew I was beat for the sake of it (not even thinking there was any chance of being good but - well I have no idea why). This was about 15 minutes after sitting down and there had not even been any poorly played hands or anything to annoy me just basically started playing and that"s how I was playing. At the moment I quite simply no longer enjoy playing poker.
To be honest I have known for quite a while that something was not right and it was more than just being off form or needing to bring it up to date. I have just finishing cashing out of the sites I had money on, removing every bit of poker software from my main computer and my laptop. Poker Tracker, Poker Stove and all the poker clients, all gone.
I will certainly be back but could do with a few months without playing. I also have a new role in work that is going to keep me very busy for a while so now is a good time to do it. The motivation will probably come back soon enough but I am not going to come back to playing until I actually want too as I have been forcing myself to play a bit. All of the software can be downloaded again when that happens.
Good luck to you all and I hope season six of the live tour is a great success and I will be watching with interest and hoping that the usual suspects do really well this year :-)

If i might say so, and please dont take this the wrong way mate, i think you have kind of brought this on yourself.
In vegas doing stupidly long cash grinds, when you admitted yourself you werent enjoying it....
Playing ALOT online...
It seems like you managed to suck the enjoyment out of it all for yourself to me. I think you are doing the right thing in taking a long break from it, hopefully when you come back you will decide to play some APAT live events, and try and get back to playing the game and having FUN while you do it, hopefully making a bit of cash on the way :)
Good luck with the work thing dude, am ssure you will crush it :)

You need a break..
So... Pick a weekend, stay with me, go to the aquarium, get hammered and get the love back....
If not just relax enjoy your break and come back stronger.....
Swinebag:
Glad you are taking a break steve. Grinding low stakes cash can be soul destroying and your soul seems a bit destroyed.
come back when you feel it isn"t a chore
And take ger up on his offer. I might even tag along if stu comes down the same night as well
