How long have you been on a losing streak? Are you are tourney player or a ring player? I had the same thing happen. I got some amazing results right after reading all the great posts on FTR and then went into a two week skid. I was depressed, confused and doubting every single move I made!

I went back over each game and tried to identify whether I was making bad plays or just getting unlucky. Not fun but real important. I also stopped playing completely for several days and just read and re-read great posts on FTR, not just about strategy but about the psychological aspects of the game. Once you lose confidence and mental toughness...your doomed. I did a search on 'slump' and saw many posts that made me realize that I wasn't alone....far from it! I also just watched online games and tried to focus on betting patterns and put people on hands etc. I was re-energized and took $600 1st in a home game to snap my losing streak. I am still not playing online because I rather spend that time studying the game. I am sure I will re-up my pokerstars account at the end of the wek and dive back in!

lol no kidding!

I have actually seen this whole tape on some bloopers show on tv before... it was great! Actually not seen it in quite some time till I noticed it in your sig 1-2 days ago now.

Where did you get it from? is the whole vid posted on the web somewhere? is there a site that u got this from with even more vids like it?

I forget what happens exactly but I seem to recall thoes 2 guys standing there talking.. one of them open the door to go down, then stops a sec to consult a list or something, then that other girl turns around and falls......
