Thank you, you speak the truth. Breaking even in not really my concern - i have over 12grand in savings at this point.. I just think my best way of dealing with it for the 1st couple days (always the most traumatic), is to tell myself I'm going to make the best of the situation and try to make this into a turning point in poker and life.

Anyone else willing to share financial downswings like this that you've experienced in life? How did you cope with those 1st couple days following the incident?
