Motivation Concentration

Since my last post I haven't really had the motivation to put in a lot of hours. When I have played my concentration has been sub par to say the least. The truth is, I really have no idea why this is. It's probably a combination of the tournament win mixed in with not taking many breaks from the tables and working on the site. If I'm not playing poker I am probably working on some aspect of the site. Growing this site is very high up on my to do list, and I enjoy the work almost as much as I do playing poker. If I don't give myself some breaks from them both I run the risk of burning out on both. So, over the next few days I'll give myself some time off and not think too much of poker. I'll most likely take all of Friday and Sunday off and get in some solid playing time on Sat.

I did fight the lack of motivation the last couple of days to get in some hands. I played some heads up, mixed in non holdem games, pretty much anything to help me focus. I got in a total of 3349, made $801 playing, and cleared $133 in bonus. It was nice to make good money while the concentration was lacking, but I probably could have made even more if I was playing at full capacity. A few days of relaxation should charge my batteries again and allow me to hit the tables at full speed once again.
