While the title might suggest the holiday season, I'm referring to running like complete....poop. I had a nice cash in a MTT a couple weeks ago and have been playing well for the last few months, but now I seem to have hit yet another downswing. It seems like the more I play (within my BR) the more negatively I think during times like these.

I'd like some ideas for what to do now. I almost feel like reading some books, watching some others play, and taking some time away from actually playing, without shutting out poker completely. I have already made a small withdrawl, just to make myself feel good and maybe have some extra $$ for Christmas shopping. If anyone's got some advice for me, it would be more than welcomed.

I always enjoy playing a very different game at lowest stakes where I can degen it up for a while just to blow off steam. Like PL O8 or 2-7 TD

Maybe review some hand histories from others like this one

Maybe a sweat session with a noob at a much lower stake than you play?

I think playing other games (and analyzing the hands when you're done), and having a good session analysis can really help you get your bearings back.
