Only time i get burn't on poker is if the stakes I'm playing at aren't high enough with respect to my bankroll, like with freerolls I sign up for out of sheer boredom in the first place or home games where it's more for socializing than poker play.
Peace

I know its sacriledge to many, but I play for the love of playing. I am competitive but I don't let it get in the way of me having a good time. I have been off work for the last week for the holidays and there are days if I play more then 3 hours I'm not having fun(unless its deep in a tourney). So to each their own but why beat yourself up if you don't want to play?

2) I got completely burnt out at the tables,
It got to the point when I played so much day in day out that I just didn't feel like playing for a while, I'm sure that this happens to the best of em and just wondered what everyone else did to get back on the proverbial horse?
Happy holidays to all!!!
Oh yeah...

If I were playing for fun, then I would not play ery often. I play purely for profit, and if I have no profit I have no fun. I have played for 4 years straight years with only occasional days off. I play as many tables and events as possible at one time. Multi screens, etc. I can count the weeks that I lost money on my hands and toes (never big losses either). I play at somewhat lower levels so it is impossible to lose my stake. I need to spend all my winnings unfortunately.
I will admit that there have been a few times that I have said that I want to sit down and play "a nice relaxing game of poker". But not many. Sorry, probably not too encouraging.....but true.

The only thing that keeps me from multi-tabling is the fact that Full Tilt Poker doesn't run more than one freeroll at a time.
Once I get some cash in my account, I might multi-table the .25/.50 ring games though.

Not really, no. Of course, I don't multi-table. That's got a lot to do with it. I porbably play a max of 150 hands a day
