Still not playing, just fell out of love

Remember that relationship when you once thought she was the one and couldn't imagine yourself without her, but time passed and suddenly you just fell out of love and move on ?. That's exactly how I feel these days about poker, I'm still not playing, I think I have played like a grand total of 6 tournaments or so this month. I just don't have the motivation, the desire, the drive, these days, I just don't love poker. In the 2+2 forums (a poker forum) I prefer to post about politics or about soccer, no poker related posts at all. As today I could care less about poker, my days are watching World Cup soccer games, go to swim, talk with friends, talk with my wife, play with the kids, worry about the kids, surf the Internet, but no poker. Let's see if things change soon, since in about a week, I'll be playing in my first WSOP event. I'm already registered to play in 3 WSOP events the first week of the WSOP through Poker Stars, I really hope once in Vegas, feeling the vibe of the WSOP, love will come back. If there's something that can make me fall again in love with poker it's the WSOP. Let's hope it works its magic on me.

I just started reading your blog after seeing the title in a 2+2 mag article- I've been trying to learn Spanish and reading your posts in Spanish has been very helpful so far- thanks for blogging.

I was a playing for a living for a year and a half up until 2 months ago- I think I could have written this entry about myself almost word-for-word. I weathered 2 prolonged downswings in that time but the third one broke my love for the game. Now that I've taken a break for the last 6 weeks I can see how it will be fun again once I get back into it again part time.

I hope things turn around for you soon.
