Where do you play callie ? PS ? I suggest don't only play at big poker site or MTT, hard to win. Try small poker site and there are not a lot of entries, around 100 - 300 entries. Maybe you will feel better, I suggest you play at Americas Card Room or Titan.

If you feel that you have to improve your game without risking your money, then you have made the right decision. Although playing occasionally some freerolls can give you a small bankroll. But i see it is not something you like. You want to be "in the game" itself Lets see how long, is this going to take you
Come on mate just take a little break from it and comeback with a small deposit, set yourself some goals and do realistic challenges and enjoy as the cash comes in poker is a such a nice fun game just don't quit it.

Don`t give up callie28! You can take a break, but why have you leave the poker? You haven`t take the game as a personal matter. If you found something better than poker and you want to spend your time with it...fine. But don`t leave for a downswing. All of us had it. I use the downswing time to learn about my weakness

Poker is not dead - far from it - but will be in a very hard situation once the US authorities legalize sportsbetting in all states.

I think that it is always good to take a break occasionally and to come back even better and stronger than before. I have also been taking a break from poker but am now looking forward to playing in a few freerolls and smaller tournaments.

ofcourse that every player have periods where they take break for some time and that is normal,but I dont think that you need to stop in this moment,just because of few donks on online poker from which you lost on some tournament on cash game!just take few days break and everything will be fine! good luck with every decision that you make!

Even after reading some books, you will have to practice what you have learned, and see how it goes. By reading a book, doesnt mean you are gonna start winning money, when you are done with it. If that was the case anyone that can read would have done so Practice is what makes players good. It is huge step though to recognize your weaknesses and trying to improve yourself.

What a deep saying! And with it Tony_MON7ANA don´t try to win some points because he knows that there are only a few characters. So, it`s a joke or something like that, but he always tries to be nice. So callie28, how are you? Are you taking a break? Could you return to study? Have you programs to analysis your playing? There is some good of them!

Poker is alive and Tony can write a phrase, the human being in the mob`s mode have hope again!! Friends you had me worried to me. Downswing is like an open wound that not stop to make pain to us. It seems that we couldn`t make our good playing again. But, like all the wound on the proud, only could improve making better to us
