Lack of New Material

Wow! It has been almost a month since I posted anything new. I am sorry about that as I meant to do a whole series on my experiences at the Main Event last month. However, I just kind of fell into this impromtu vacation and haven't been writing at all. Which really sucks because I like writing this blog. Since I haven't been writing, what have I been doing? Well, I have been playing a ton of poker lately. From big buy in tournaments to cash games, I have really played it all. How have I been doing? Not well. I have just taken a lot of bad beats lately and it is starting to ware on me. I know that they are part of the game, but a person can only take so much. The last draw came over the weekend when I was playing in a 2/4 NL cash game on the internet. I last a huge pot when my pocket kings got cracked by jacks. The other fellow spiked a jack on the turn. We got all our money in on the flop and the very next card was the one that did me in. That set me off and I realized that I needed a break from poker.

For at least the next couple of weeks, I am going to take a playing vacation from poker. I need to recharge and clear my head a bit. I just need to clear those crushing defeats out of my mind. I know in the long run I will win more than I have lost. However, the short run really sucks and wares on you mentally and emotionally. I don't know how much I will be writing over the next few weeks. I haven't decided whether my break will include writing about poker. I know that I won't be playing, so that kind of cuts my material in half. Whatever may happen, I promise to be back with a vengenance. I just don't know when that will be or how long my break will last. Whatever happens...I'll see ya soon.
