My fave is "pull a pig". Find the ugliest fattest chick you can and game her. Nearly always works even when my game has been rubbish as they have such low status (and you know it). It reminds you how it all works shows you what you are doing works and boosts your confidence. Plus you have a funny story to boot.

One thing I like to do to get out of slumps is try to get "bad advice" to work. I will go out with the worst openers imaginable, for example, and see how I can present them to get it to work. You might be surprised that when you force yourself to calibrate more and convey who you truly are, you can often get "bad advice" to still work.

There are some things I am never able to get work, but in those cases I grow a deeper understanding of why it doesn't work.

In a big slump right now...for about 3 months just having huge AA problems. No good.

I will redo my stack and kill the Sacred Cow( Dance game - i do too much of it).

Thanks for kicking ass CJ!!

I have been in a slump for quite a while now (over a year) and I have basically tried all of these ideas. I am at a total loss to be honest.

Any ideas as to what to do if none of the above work beyond becoming a monk?

>> rediscover what things look like when illuminated by the Sun

That's funny :)

Great post CJ...I liked # 7 the best...pure GOLD. In fact, that's what I've been doing the last 6 months, using existing FB's to rationalize my lack of balls. But your post has cured me! I've just deleted ALL old numbers. Brilliant idea!
