When you mood is not even at its average in poker...
I ended last year doing pretty fine. I hired a coach and improved my game which is always great.
My plans for january were to study and play as much as I could.
But sometimes life puts something in your way and your plans suddenley happen to go to the trash.
In my case this time Im talking about couple issues. Problems with my gf... a crisis, etc, etc. Happily resolved nowadays but it lasted a couple of months.
Crisis was good for us. I learned and grew a lot due to this. However, in january and february I was absolutely not in the mood of playing poker.
Now in march Im better. Nevertheless I still don't feel the motivation to sit in front of my PC and study or play.
This doesn't mean my goal in poker has changed. I still love poker and want to achieve my goals.
But poker is such a mental game that when you're not in the mood, I believe it is counterproductive to try to play and study no matter what.
What do you think about this? Would like to know your opinions and points of view.
I believe such thing I comment might not happen in other activities which involve more social environment. I think I could even play live poker right now and enjoy it. But still can't with online poker...
