So for the last few weeks I've been running REALLY well. Every time I sat down, I felt like I was going to dominate the table, I was able to pick people off really easily, was maximizing my gains, and minimizing my losses.

For the last 4-5 days, though, I've sorta hit a brick wall where I've basically broken even.

Aside from running PT and pin-pointing the mechanical differences, what are some things you guys do to "break a slump," per se? Do you just keep playing and weather the storm? Take a day or two off? Change the music in your playlist? Etc?

its all about hands played, imo. time off wont change the cards...if that's all it is. you'll still continue your cooler when you come back.

however, if its tilt, a break would do you good.

i usually switch to another game.
Even if its just variance, your game will be affected after a few beats, so taking that break from that specific game/format is not a bad idea.
