That's what I'm doing... even passed on a home game last night. What I am also doing with the down time is reading through Small Stakes Hold 'Em, that should help.

I havent been on here for like 3 days for the same reason, crazy dry spell and bad beats. Really got me annoyed and as you know i keep a weak little roll online and practically lost it all. I am glad i cashed out what i consider alot already and soon im gonna come back to poker and just play alot smaller limits. Taking time off really does work, i actually wish i did it before i lost most my roll rather than later but what can ya do.

I just found SSHE that I had borrowed, and I am about to start it. Hoping it helps me improve as much as people say it will.

Well, got back to it tonight after taking most of the weekend off and reading/skiming through Small Stakes Hold 'Em. It paid off nicely as I netted $236 at one $100NL table at Titan tonight. Mostly took it off one donk who might have been the worst player I've ever come across.

Umm...

Congrats on the good night, but how did reading SSHE help at a $100NL table?

There are plenty of basic concepts in that book that apply to both limit and NL. The sections on EV and preflop play (ie, the advice on which hands to raise preflop, which to limp with and which you want to play heads-up vs. multiway) and the advice on aggression all apply to NL. I think part of my "slump" was attributable to getting too passive and limping with hands I should be raising and hoping to hit the flop, as opposed to being the aggressor and taking control of the hand. The book helped remind me (and reinforce for me) the proper way to play (ie, avoid being passive except in limited circumstances).
