Happy New Year.

Some of you may remember some of my recent roll-donking antics, basically I've gone from 17k to busto in a couple of months (although I did actually withdraw about 7k).

I know I can beat the games up to and including 10/20 LHE but am currently on super-mega-monkey-life-tilt and can hardly remain patient and calm enough to even beat the micro stakes right now.

So, I'm taking a break from poker, I have a few VIP freerolls this week but after that I'm gonna cashout and spend the rest of January just studying poker and not actually playing. By February I hope to be in a fit state to start playing again.

Has anyone else here taken a break like this before due to life-tilt? What difficulties did you have (if any) when returning to poker? Any tips on fighting the itch to play also appreciated
