It is supposed to be easy too.

Poker isn't easy. My major beef with this forum is all of the ridiculous hyperbole about how easy poker is. At least once a day someone says something ridiculous like "I can teach a 9 year old with lupus how to beat the 55s" or "Anyone should be able to beat the 22s for 25% roi."

By reading, studying, observing, and thinking about poker, you set yourself up to have a series of small edges over your opponents, edges that are hopefully greater than the rake. Yet your edges are still small. Casinos have been known to post losing quarters, and they have many more trials than we have to exploit their edges.

Your play probably has deteriorated somewhat, but in all likelyhood, you're still a winning player. I realize that "hang in there" is neither comforting nor particularly helpful advice, but aside from reviewing hands and trying to get the positive mindset, it's the only advice out there.

Best of luck.
