What to do when motivation fails

[sj_pi]

1st, were do you want to be in you poker career? Do you play for fun? Do you play to beat a certain game? Do you play to one day become a pro?

IF your "WHY" you play poker is a strong "why" you will be driven to want to play. So figure out why you are really playing

This is close to what I wanted to comment but hesitated thinking that the OP might have just gone on tilt and hasn't taken a breather while on tilt to re-align the focus.

You have to play poker when You are enjoying if no give up this and come later becuse You can easy catch tilt, even in freeroll You play for something so think about award and be patient

I think you will be motivated if your bankroll was hit really really hard. You want to get back some of it and in the process, you will become patient.

I don't know about that, its clearly the opposite. What you're talking about is a way to tilt. lol
The most common way is to lay off of poker until you get the urges to play again.

Take a break. I totally lost interest in the game a year and a half ago and was out of for 14 months. Comming back with a fresh mind and a much better attitude and now I find it fun to play again.

Everyone says take a break, but what if it is not an option for me ? Taking break makes things worse for me, need somehow to bounce back into the interest

I have this problem as well, and am going through it right now... Haven't actully played in a couple weeks.
