Finally played my 2 step 4 tickets last night...after 30 step 1s I was left with 1 step 6. I waited for the perfect lineup. Saw one that had jorj, stevie, and imnotsogood who play a ton but some really horrible randoms. Barry Greenstein sniped the final spot. Things going OK...keeping above water. Make it to 3 handed v. 2 complete subhuman retards. Then this fucking gem happens. /wrists

So last month was great for me. Put in the most hands I've ever put in and had the best results I've ever had. But it really burned me out. I couldn't find the mental energy to just sit down and grind cash. So did I stop playing and take a break? No. I thought I could do well in other forms. Played some HU...lost to some pretty horrendous coolers. Played some MTTs...not enough to create a sample. Played some $12 turbo 180s/45 mans...DID NOT GO WELL. So here I am...and I've got the urge to grind again. I'm $868 in the hole this month...-$418 in MTTs/SNGs and -$450 in HU. I hope I can battle out of this hole for the month and put up some positive numbers.

MAIN POINT
I know people get burned out all the time and people deal with it in different ways. I will suggest just stepping away from the game completely. Maybe enjoy it with a couple live games(this is what started my passion for grinding in the first place). Step back and reflect. This game is a beast...but with enough dedication it's very beatable. Don't play for the sake of playing. Play with a purpose. I have mine again...look out ya'll.
