Gamblers burn out?
Anyone ever get burned out by the daily grind and just needs to take off for some time? Believe me the itch will never go away but from time to time I really get tired and take a break for a few months at a time. This happen to anyone else or is it just me?

I have two or three days a week I take much easier than the rest which helps me limit burnout. When I feel I'm getting burnt out take a couple of weeks off, usually only once or twice a year.

Talking about bad beats! On line poker is the worst for that! Every time I have pocket KK it seems someone was holding pocket AA.

Sometimes once the tourney ends its a big relief knowing you can take the summer to relax and refresh.
