Need to keep focus

Ok, so the truth is poker has been a bit rough lately. I've been putting a lot of hours in online but I've been treading water the last month or so. It is a bit discouraging but I am attempting to keep things in perspective. If I can't handle some tough times then I certainly would not be cut out to do this long term. As it stands, I really think I'm getting better each day, so it could be just a generic "bad luck" situation. Of course, my ego is in check so I know it's been partly my fault as well. I've made some pretty bad plays in the heat of the moment, but have had plenty of sick coolers. I had quads beaten by quads for a huge pot and the nut flush beaten by a straight flush etc. The game was pot limit omaha though so those situations do come up, but it still sucks!

So anyways, I'll keep churning away as I'm sure I'll get out of this slump soon enough.
