Here I am! thats about it...

To those of you who have been sitting at your computers hitting F5 for the past two and a half weeks since my last post.... I sincerely apologize. I'm in what I call a state of poker depression. It hasn't helped my cold streak at all and I assure you i'll be getting over it soon and getting back into the groove... until then... I will continue to wallow in my own misery and be perfectly content doing so.

It's actually not as bad as it probably just came across. As my cold streak followed me around from table to table it started to effect my play to the point where I would look at myself in the mirror and ask myself what the f*ck my problem was. Yeah.... it was that bad. I've decided to take another week or so off and clear my head of all things poker and come back when i'm fresh. This will be sooner rather than later but I still need a little time. It's a much better option than recklessly throwing around my chips hoping to randomly break out my losing streak... which is the way it was starting to seem to me.

So! That's that. I've taken comfort in knowing i'm not the only player who has gone through one or two rough patches. Paul Wasicka wrote a pretty good article in the most recent bluff magazine about cold steaks and I found it very helpful. Until next time...
