This is probably the first of many walls (hopefully the severity of which decreases) I will hit in my career.

In the past month I have lost $175 dollars to deposits on Stars to try and build up a BR on that site to play in the Gauntlet with. I have also lost about $150 on my Full Tilt BR, not including my withdrawals. I am now down to about $200 in my total BR, 30 on stars 170 on Tilt. I started this whole thing with a $50 dollar deposit on Tilt.

As you can see, my BR, had I not had those losses, would be around $525. I think this shows I'm capable of solid poker. What I am asking, is how can I reset my poker game? How can I get back to the fundamentals to get out of this rut? I feel every hand I play that I'm running into a brick wall the last few weeks. Hell, I lost quads over quads today, it was disgusting. I want to get better, I want to start making enough from poker to actually spend some of my earnings (the goal for 2006 is to win >10K and by a new car ((one that works!)) with the winnings). Help me get back to basics guys?
the key to getting out of a long long rut is to admit to urself that u r playing poor poker and not just CONSTANTLY getting unlucky
