A lot of players recently have been on huge downswings. I just read Matt Hawrilenko’s blog and hes down over 1.1 million to Phil Ivey these past 4 days. Its his largest downswing ever but all pros have to go through this. Its just how you deal with this that makes you a better player. Keep Blogging, i like to keep up with your poker life. Just a couple of questions though, so whats your game going to be now? or you done with tournaments? are you going to play more live or more online now? if online what stakes are you going to be playing at? 10-20 or 25-50 or 100-200? I dont see you on full tilt anymore =[

I respect your honesty Andrew…I know that you get a lot of advice. I would suggest, if you have not done so already, that you consider starting a small business with some of your poker proceeds.
It would take your mind off the game when you need to plus it would be something to fall back on if your luck runs south.

dude, i know you are a great player but no matter how good you are you have to take into consideration the variance, don’t play busto poker, it will never work, don’t get caught up in the money but respect your bankroll, focus on your curve (the curve in the graphs showing progressively going up over time), play profitable games, you are one of the best players on the planet, dont let yourself stand in your own way, if the excitment is gone then get another hobby and take a break but dont just go into a higher limit b/c its a slippery slope, you have friends/family that care for you very much and their love and support is not based on what stakes you play

Keep your head up dude. They say placing your thoughts into writing is one of the most therapeutic ways of alleviating anxiety and helps with those mental ruts we all go through.

Thing of one bright side, you could have had that money invested in Las Vegas Sands Corp and lost it that way.
