Taking a break

[Zybomb]

I personally think you have to play through your cold streaks. I've been running cold as hell lately

I started off the year pretty bad, going -1550 in the hole after my first 4 sessions (all losers)

I then won 6 straight (1 nice win and the rest small ones) to get to +615

I then lost 4 in a row, but won 3 of the next 4, which left me at +235 in the middle of Feb.... wow I was doing so much better last year.

I then won 5 straight including a few big ones and 7 of the next 8 total, which got me up to +4250

Then came the real bad streak.

I lost 7 of the next 8 sessions (my one win was $1700 at least) leaving me all the way back down to +1195

I just recently won a huge session ($2120), won my next small (170) and then last night I played quite possibly the best poker of my life, but lost 600, a flush draw called all his chips on the flop and hit, another time I had JsTs and the flop came T high with 2 spades, Bet, raised, he moves in Im committed anyway no spade comes, and I was up against a set.. But I made 2 SICK calls on 'feel', and an incredible laydown which left the whole table gasping -- the bettor was nice enough to flash his cards and show me I made the right decision

Im at +2880 right now -- simply because I seem to be playing extremely streaky and everytime I start stringing together good sessions I get ice cold for a week. (this is not including online play, this is live play only)

To say so myself Im kind of disappointed in the first 1/4 of the year for myself and I am still grinding out of a cold streak right now (I've still lost 8 of my last 1 sessions, although 2 of the last 3 have been winners...hopefully I start a hot streak.

I think you just need to remain confident and grind out of the cold streaks...
