Only for 1 week though =). so now all i have to do is not deposit any money on any of my other accounts. Iv´e had a few pretty bad days now without losing all that money, but getting bad beats in annoying positions, place 5 in mtt etc etc. then came today, it´s rare i lose this much money without being drunk or playing extremely poor. ive been playing freaking brilliant but i just kept losing. nuts after nuts after nuts on the turn getting busted on unreal rivers. i know thats poker but sometimes you gotta say NO!!!! and after an all day poker session, a busted keyboard and a broken (im not sure yet ill know tommorow) hand ive freakin had it for this week =)
so gl at the tables mates i´ll cya in 7 days.............
I instantly regret my decission but its irrevokable =)

yeah I hear you been there done that, almost cost my self a computer the other day taking a sick beat on the river,It just sucks when the wins are far and few a apart,but its poker, we must just try again,and again......
But I think you ll be back at the tables soon enough you just need to take a couple or even a few days off from playin poker trust me its good when you stay away for a few days,I ve had to do that on occasion, just stop playin for a few days.....

well done ... hope after the break things improve.....going to be a long week .....my computer broke recently and had no poker for two weeks..... it was cruel....but a least you should be looking forward to playing again after the break
Best thing your doing is taking the week off IMO. It's always helped me to take a couple of days off when ive had running days of blowing 30% of my BR, & it's not really the coolers that kill it, but the playing while being angry & tilted but as soon as i take 2 or 3 days off, i come back & usually make it all back in the first & second day while on a clear head, so im sure you'll get back on top of it if you avoid the tilt

I feel for you. Have had a couple of bad days myself. When I'm in a coinflipsituation, I might as well log out, there's no way I'm gonna win it. Think I lost about 12 50/50:s in a row. 70/30, I got a slim chance of winnig, but it is slim. If I have like 87/13 or maybe 95/5, that's a coinflip for me nowadays.

I'm finding some of the comments here both amusing but also a bit shocking. .I mean breaking your hand/computer because of a bad beat?? Its a bit severe no? Kinda defeats the purpose of playing poker for fun or money. If I ever got this bad I'd say I'd just quit

Just forget anything related to poker this week off. It will be good for you to take a rest after variance hit you. If you want to play because you cannot control your impulse, just take a sit in play money table hahahaha.
Gl. man . I hope you come back with a nice upswing.

think you took a good decision to take a break from poker rather than going on tilt and losing. hope that when u come after break you win back what you lost during ur downswing
