Thinking of taking a break...BUT NOT ANYMORE!! Wish I stayed away.....

[happyhornet]

...for possibly a long or very long one from PL poker. To quote what I stated earlier on tonights focus game thread.... "It is a sign of my complete lack of confidence at the moment that I folded. I am actually embarassed by my play, it was so awful. I can't hit a thing, my confidence is shot, I make stupid mistakes, become easy to read, and in the company of quality players such as there are here, you can't do that if you are a good player. I'm under no illusion that I am far from that, consequently my poor performances in the last month or two. Perhaps I need a break from PL games to get some confidence back." I am struggling against the average players out there. You guys are killing me, not just a little, but quite a lot (too much:$). Perhaps in a while, my belief in my game may return and I will come back and play against you guys again. My confidence is cyclical and I have posted when low before, but this is a lot worse. I go into every hand almost fearing to bet unless I have the nuts (which I never have;)). As always if anyone has any ideas/assistance, please (seriously, please) post or PM me. I will (hopefully) still be around in a lurking sense, and will answer all messages, but for now this is goodbye. Be lucky Steve

Re: Thinking of taking a break... Steve, if you remember I posted up not long ago about having a break myself. I did (kinda) but just a day after I'd posted up I had a nice win in the will hill game. Since then I've been playing well and winning. I think this is what you need - just one good result to get your confidence back. You don't become a bad player overnight mate - I seem to remember you coming 2nd in the PLWSOP not long ago - albeit it was in Omaha but it still shows that you're a very good poker player. Keep the faith Steve! :ok
