my poker last night is a good example.

I was playing well but got sucked out on a couple of times or lost to legit better hands after making marginal calls. Felt i was about to tilt, if not already. dropped about 3 buy-ins in all. Posted on here whining.

I took a break. hand a ciggie (even though i'm meant to have given up), watched a bit of telly, had a shower.

Reloaded and finshed 2nd in MTT and won a couple of Sn'gs along the way.

If you feel its defo variance and are confident its not affecting you then play on. other wise take a break and come back to it.
