Day ?: Lost in the bubble

Slow posting means slow poker.

I haven't played a hand now in over a week. I don't know why, but I just haven't felt like it. I'm on a losing streak, there's some bad play involved and I still need to think what I'm doing wrong, but I think I'm losing motivation. I wanted to treat this like a job, but I can't treat it like a job when I'm not making money, or when I'm making 20c per hour. I earn about $10/h at work and I hate that! The problem is, the SnGs are losing me money, but grinding the Omaha tables is just slow. I make profit, but at the 0.01/0.02$ tables, it's minimal.

I'm planning on sticking to my 5% buy-in rule, but now I'm going to buy-in for 100BB, not the 250BB I have been. This means I'll be playing at the 0.02/0.05$ tables, and hopefully I'll see a faster profit. I'll slow down on the SnGs, or maybe just play $1 ones, but I won't be spending the few hours a day I promised myself.

I think I'm just having a hard time at the minute, my moods fluctuating worse than a woman's and I'm just not feeling committed to anything. I'm finding myself just playing a lot of online games with friends as it seems to calm me best, and I don't want my mood to be affecting my poker.
