Can't get in the mood..
I just can't really seem to get in the mood to play poker. I have been pretty busy getting all my school stuff organized and getting back into the groove of classes, and keep telling myself I want to play, but when I sit down to pull up some tables, I get the urge not to. Over my couple years of playing full time I have learned the VERY hard way that if I am not in the mood to play, I really really shouldn't. I used to tell myself that I NEED to play because I have the time, but literally playing when I am tired/wore down or just plain not in the right mindset, is a recipe for disaster.
This is pretty common sense to any poker player, but I guess I used to talk myself into the fact that I was +EV anyways, when in reality it was false. So I think tonight I am just gonna relax, watch Man vs Wild and not force anything. I do feel kind of guilty, but I will get over it.
Good Luck to any of you who are actually playing, I hope to be again soon too,
