Tales of an Poker Grinder

Well a week ago starting with my Thursday Night Home Game I hit a losing streak and it went for the whole weekend. So what's the best thing to do? Take a break, I took Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday off. I went into my next Thursday Night Home Game fresh and ready to play. The first game I slid into second place and the next I finished in the money taking 4th. Then online every tourney I played in I finished in the money. So my advice when you hit that bad run just take a break, just get away from the game, watch a movie, read a book, or go excercise, you know we all sit at the tables for hours so a little walk couldn't hurt anyone.
