One of the reasons I haven't posted anything in a while is that I'm being whipped at the tables. I'm in the midst of a horrible run, and haven't made the time to post my results, instead trying to play more to get out of my rut.
That's obviously the wrong thing to do: I need to comment regardless of win or lose.
Right now, things are going so bad for me, I'm in the process of revisiting why I even play the game. It used to be for fun; turning nothing into real money, even if it was just $5. Then I started making more money, and then I started making goals. All the while, I was moving up levels. It has since stopped being fun and become more of an emotional drain (online anyways. The .10/.25 home games are still fun, except for being tired the next day).
Is it because I'm trying to achieve goals and failing to meet them? Is it because I'm moving up levels and as the competition is more intense and the variance increases, and I'm not ready for that yet? Is it just because I'm on a downswing, and was not ready to cope for that?
For now, I'm taking a break...

Poker is a wild beast man. When you're running good, everything is great. When you're running bad, it seems like every card is out to get you. Just imagine, if you HAD to win to pay the bills. Now that's stress and variance!
