A Break From Tournaments

Now matter how good a tournament player you are, tournaments are a grind and it is likely you will go on an extended downswing at some point. This can be detrimental to your mindset, and cash games are a great way to take your mind off of things.

Taking a break from tournaments and playing cash games can help you refresh and have some fun. Put No-Limit Hold'em to the side temporarily and play Pot-Limit Omaha or mixed games.

Some other games running in the King's Lounge include Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better, Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better and Stud Mix at various stakes climbing up to betting limits of $75/$150.

Sitting In Luxury
