In a slump

One of the facts of life for a poker player is that you're going to go through slumps. They're unavoidable. Though you don't have a choice about going through them, you do have a choice about what your attitude is going to be. The best thing about slumps is that they're survivable. The more slumps you survive, the better you'll be able to adopt a philosophical attitude toward them, and the better you'll be able to survive future slumps.

This is an excerpt from my May 27, 2013 post. I'm definitely in a slump. I've survived every slump before, so this one should be no different.
