Bad few days

The past few days have been really bad in terms of poker. I have been really unfocused and not feeling 100%,but not really sick either. I haven't wanted to workout or generally leave the house. Its really odd for me when I only leave the house once or twice I day, usually I am outside alot.

I have also been sleeping in really late. I don't think I have been up before noon once this week and I like to be on a schedule where I get up at 8 or 9. I find it really helps me interact with people around me. When I get up at 2 in the afternoon I feel groggy most of the day.

Beyond this I haven't really wanted to play much poker, which is really strange. I have basically been lying around the house/bed for the past three days. When I have played I have done really poorly. I just finished a session where I lost 16k playing the stud games, but won 7k playing holdem and omaha. I felt pretty unfocused in it and made some poor plays which I don't think I would have if I were feeling great.

I am not going to force my play. Tomorrow I am going to get up and head to the beach and take a swim in the afternoon. That should help me refocus.

Here are some hands from that session.

Gonna stove this one and see if I have equity to call down.

Its probably a fold.I think I like this line, tho I am going to weight it with the option of calling.

Sucks running into trips again. I think I played this fine, I don't see how I can fold 4th when my opponents door pairs. There are so many draws he can have and I have decent equity against two pair smaller than a ten.

Again I don't think I can fold, but I need to spend some time on a Stud simulator to double check everything.

I fell like I hit a bit of a road block the past couple of days. I had been doing really well in my mixed games, but its pretty clear I need to improve my Stud and O8 games to beat 100/200. I think the play is substantially harder than the 20/40 and 40/80 games and some of my leaks have gone from unnoticeable to glaring.
