Re: No longer playing to win
Hang in there. This happens in a game with such a strong chance component. I was there last month. Find something about your game to work on -- I'm sure there's gotta be at least one area where you don't feel like an expert [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].
I endured a breakeven month at the 22s (and then the 11s [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]) by putting a lot of thought into how I should be playing from the blinds. Rather than getting angry when I busted as a 60/40 favorite -- which is really not all that rare -- I learned to laugh it off and continue concentrating on a hole in my game.
If anything this will make you learn a lot about bankroll management -- this is why you don't blow all your money from a heater in one night... also you'll learn the very emotionally practical reasons for eschewing results-oriented thinking.
Read some Lao Tzu.
