Lately all im running into is monsters. In a position for isolation and only one or two players behind it seems that in the past couple of sessions im cursed or something hahahahahha. Every time. Profitable isolation, somebody behind wakes up with a monster. Should I take a short break?

No I just grind through it. It happens a lot online. I don�t know how many times I try to isolate with AK and the opener has aces lately. It�ll turn in your favor if you just keep playing solid poker. Good luck at the tables!

Tables get a little weird sometimes, a lot of projects, double pairs, straight, flush. Many players contesting the pot. Quick eliminations, generous buybacks. You have to accommodate yourself to the situation and make a profit or avoid big losses.

be thankful that the variance monster has already come. Next time it will be you with the monster with the jam and rejam into your AA.

Pretty much any time I think: "Hey, this would be a good time to take a little break," I've never regretted it.

Clear your head, think through the hands again, and decide if you need to tighten your ranges slightly or if these are unavoidable coolers - you need to be able to trust your instincts but you should also review your decisions in close spots afterwards to get better.

Good luck! Monsters

If you need a break, take it. I find studying when taking breaks is ideal to recenter yourself and regain confidence. If you don't have that, you will be playing scared and that is not a recipe for success.

a break will definitely not hurt
at this time I am usually busy with theory on certain issues of the game where I have gaps
your condition and approach to the game should be calm without any fears
Take a break and with renewed vigor to victories

I think a break is also a good idea. Monsters

It�s good for a little recharge if you�re a little overwhelmed. Monsters
