Topic: Bonus Burn Out Forum: Bonus Whores

I had a really bad burnout stretch over the past two weeks.. just never was into the games, but forced myself to play. Had a few mediocre days that just snowballed. So, i started to play scared.. worried about my bankroll, cash flow.. over analyzing my game, questioning every action, adjusting my starting hands, getting really bothered by bad beats, unsatistified with winning pots that I "might have" gotten one more big bet out of. Of no coincidence, I had my biggest losing day ever, first losing week in months, "only" up $400 this month through playing.. which is 4x worse than my normal pace. Oh, and I got physically sick .. no doubt amplified by all this. Finally back on a roll again .. and I figured out (again); you play best when you do not think and do not have time to think. If that means, putting up 4 windows where you're too busy to think - do it . You cannot dwell on suckouts and continuous cold cards, or how your buy in has dropped from $50 to $20. Focus on making the right play right now and putting in a meaningful number of hands that will overcome short term variance. Once you do get on a roll, I don't think there will be that burnout factor anymore.. winning fixes everything. Also, if you mess around with your game.. even if it is for the better, there will be a period of adjustment where you could chop around for days or weeks.
