Message: [QUOTE="Matt Vaughan, post: 3204195, member: 34747"] I've been pretty down about poker the last couple of months. Coming off the WSOP high, running meh, playing slightly above meh, and just having a lot of difficult work and personal stuff going on has made me feel really down about playing lately. I've been less excited about playing even when I have the time, which sucks. I want to want to play, if that makes sense. So I've taken more time for myself at home on weekends, involved myself more on the home games side than doing casino hours, and just overall have let studying drop to a minimum. At some point I know I'll get some of this stuff sorted and my motivation will swing back along with my time. But for a while, it's been rough. But I was recently re-watching some hands from the MSPT event I final-tabled. On top of that, this is a thing and I'm pretty excited: [url]https://www.cardschat.com/forum/poker-news-events-63/mid-states-poker-tour-mspt-2016-a-301395/#post3200151[/url] Cardschat is a media sponsor of the MSPT, so go send some love! I also posted in the thread with my plan for the rest of the year, which as of right now is exclusively MSPT events. That got me excited, but I also happened to notice that of the next 5 venues, I have MSPT cashes at 4 of them (Running Aces in Minnesota being the odd one out). It reminded me that I have a pretty good tournament track record, but also got me pumped and wanting to do well. I haven't had that kind of excitement about poker since the WSOP, so it was just fun to think about. I don't have unrealistic expectations. I am well aware that I could easily brick all 5 of these. But soft fields and a hunger to win have me chomping at the bit. Maybe all I've been doing is biding my time. I know the thread has been a bit dead as of late, so don't get your hopes up and expect the thread to suddenly explode. ... Unless I bink of course. [/QUOTE]
