DJ Cautious On Stars: The Worst Player In The World

My goal at the beginning of the month was to when I get back from WSOP to grind out and get in alot of hands of plo to improve my game. However the desire to play after putting in crazy long sessions in vegas and playing in alot of tough and intense games is not there. I just want to relax and focus on other non poker related stuff for a while just to get myself sane!!!!

I think it is important for all of us to take sometime off and just chill!! You dont even need to travel!! Just hit the self exclude button for a week and just get the stuff we want to get done in our life done. Sometimes the problem with online poker is your house becomes your place of work so you dont get to enjoy it anymore as any spare moment you checking on your pc/laptop to see if any juicy games going and if there is your jumping right in. You sometimes negelting family and friends and it becomes almost a drug addiction!! So I think its heathly to self exclude for a while and just sort your ish out!! Get your goals figured out for the next few months, hang out with friends, go and get wasted, go shopping and get some new clothes and just get yourself together. Its important to actually self exclude for a week  as sometimes the tempation is too much and you end up jumping right back on your pc.

One important advice someone ever told me is that there will always be a game tomorrow so why stress about todays game....

Very very good book I am currently reading about degens in poker and about poker characters and full time professionals is "Shut up and Deal" by Jesse May. Its an old school book but goes to show the same degen behaviour of poker players has not changed over the years and it reminds me of many a poker player I see in various card rooms all over the world. The Cheats, the slowrollers, the bums, the guys who always broke, the guys who are the best players till they have a big lossing session are all describe in this book. Sometimes I like reading these book to look at my life and try and anyalsis: what type of character do other people see me as and also to ask myself what type of character do I want to be. Win or lose I want to be someone with intregety who does not allow let the results of poker to change me into some monster!!...

My point being Poker is great but there is alot of bad side effects and we all need to be careful to not let it change us badly...

I know many of u are thinking what the f are u on about and what u been smoking so I will crawl back into my little hole and shut up for now lol
