Just come off of a major downswing in micro MTT's and my bankroll had dropped below an imaginary line in the sand I had drawn under which I had decided I would close it down for a while and maybe just study this game I love instead of playing so much. I decided to put in a good grind over the weekend though and thankfully binked a small omaha mtt for first Friday evening followed by two final tables – a second and a third in hold em to boost my bankroll back up to a playable level. I really played tight early on, tried to pick really good spots in position, stole some blinds, ran a couple of insane bluffs when I had a really tight image and held on.

Yesterday evening with a refreshed roll set up some MTT's and promptly busted in all of them. Got to love variance lol. I think when I come off a good stretch I forget how hard it was to go deep and how disciplined you have to be. It's like I want to win all hands that I decide to enter and almost expect to instead of reacting to the table and then start to bluff too much. I get frustrated when I get blinded down and lose patience. Not exactly happy tilt – sort of the opposite.

Does anyone else experience this and should I just take a break after a couple of wins or adjust my attitude?
