Hi all.
I don't want to produce a 15 page post because quite frankly, I haven't got the time or patience at the moment and I'm slightly steaming. This has nothing to do with any beats or anything as I actually put myself out of both tournaments last night.
The reason I'm posting is to get your take on the value of Internet funds. I know it's money, but for some reason, and this is the second time in my "poker career" it's happened, I've lost all sight of it.
I used to play on fruit machiens and would jump for joy if I won £25. Now I can enter the hilo for £10, rebuy and add on, and still throw it all in with chit if I'm not in the mood. Even if I finish 5th-10th where the money can be as much as £150, I'm still not happy. This happened once before in my life and the "oldies" here will remember the times I used to play 24-7 almost.
I lost all regard for my skill, my money and the game. Is this another passing phase, should I be linking it to external factors (which I'm sure don't help). What do you do? Take a break? I've been on a break for 2 years relatively speaking.
I'm worried, and would appreciate any comments.
