I like to think that compared to the general population my mental health is pretty solid. I don't have depression, or anxiety, or issues with my parents, and most of my life goes pretty well. Poker is probably the thing that gives me the most mental struggle day to day or week to week. The bouncing between highs and lows can be mentally taxing. I'm currently in an extended downswing/break even stretch and I can feel it starting to weigh on me more as my family counts on some poker income to supplement my normal 9-5 job.

Do any of you see or speak to someone about mental issues regarding poker? If so, how has it worked out for you? Are they well versed in this hobby or not? Do you think it matters? Just thinking about ways to help me mentally and looking for ideas.

I play in a weekly home game that is a NLH/PLO mix for most of the evening. When it gets late and down to 5 handed or so we typically switch to dealers choice. Most people like picking different versions of bomb pots, but I like going with more standard game times: Stud, PLO, and draw variants. I'm pretty solid on the rules for all of these games just want a good way to work on strategy and learn the nuances of each.

I want to get better and learn more about these mixed games but almost never see them spread in my home casino, and if they are they are for pretty high stakes (20/40+)

I'm going to be out in Vegas for the world series in a week and a half. Are there places on the strip that might spread a mix game rotation at more reasonable stakes? What kind of mix game stakes would be similar to 1/3 or 2/5 NLH as far as variance and/or pot sizes and/or stack sizes?

Forecast looks good for hitting up these three next weekend sometime. I'm looking for a partner with good class 4/5 experience to hit up these three. Anyone interested?

I have the Soundcore Space a40 earbuds and when I have them in their case sitting on a wireless charger they automatically connect to my phone instead of charging.

I don't seem to have the issue when I plug them in, only on wireless. Anyone else have a similar issue?
