About a month ago I began to lack motivation in the game, began to play fewer hands per session, and reduced the number of sessions per day.
In the end, I left to rest, and three weeks did not even open the poker lobby.
On arrival, set a goal, and every day began to set himself short-term tasks.
Good results began to appear.

How do you motivate yourself in poker?

Being always motivated is really hard, but when I'm stressed, I try to stop playing so I do not lose and do other things to relax and when I go back to poker, I try to reach my goals and set new goals to be beaten.

We are together.

My best way to stay motivated is to assess my hands and make sure I played them the right way. If I should have played it differently I can assess that but you can't get down on yourself for making the right play and getting beat. This is key for me.

I'm like you. I don't need to motivate myself to play, it comes naturally. I don't get upset anymore when I repeatedly lose hands where I'm 75% - 95% favored to win, cuz it happens so often. I just roll my eyes and maybe take a break. But I refresh quickly.

I believe that even though it is hard to maintain motivation, poker has a certain advantage over other activities, because every time I sit down to play, I hope to start a tournament. This has not happened yet, I hope.

The best motivation for this idea is that poker can give you everything ... Financial freedom, independence and much more
