Disillusioned

[Nade]

Just posting for some advice from you good people - when i've needed advice in the past people have always come up with the goods :) Basically, things haven't gone to plan so far this year in the area where i was looking to make most money which is cash - about $100 down, which isn't a big deal on its own its just im running bad and not playing v well so it's frustrating and causing me frustration and stress which leads me to think is it worth it? Not sure i've got better things to be doing than trying to make money (maybe Uni work :unsure) but i don't know about this whole poker malarky at the moment, it's not motivation, i've been really motivated all year but only way i can describe it is things haven't 'clicked'. I've also been torn as to what form to play if not cash - the SNGs i've played i'm about break even, the MTT i'm miles up due to the big cash in the paddypower game. So should i concentrate more on MTT where i've had success in the few i've played? Only thing is i know they're very high variance and so dedicating a lot of money to play them doesn't appeal to me at all, in fact i only play the focus games for BPP points! The SNGs - the level i play at $5/$10 isn't enough to make a decent bit of money so just play them for fun really. For the first time i'm sort of thinking of packing it in - become a 'normal' student again with a crap job or whatever. But then again the addiction is there so i know i'd still want to play, but perhaps on a smaller scale and ultimately the question 'What if' would always be in my mind if i quit. Heads a bit fuzzy at the moment, i'm disillusioned, don't know what to do .. :unsure

Re: Disillusioned O.K - Heres an option that might interest you if you have the patience. LIMIT poker.... I find that at $1/$2 levels, the standard of play is better but you can easily grind results. Its not as aggressive as NL in general but the muppets that do exist are easily spotted and unless you are really ulucky, you can catch them much easier. I turned a $50 buy-in into $198 in less than 2 hours last night and Im really not a dencent player TBH. I was trying it out as Ive just lost most of my love for NL at the moment. I play mostly Omaha now. just a thought!
