I haven't been playing consistently well for a long time. Sometimes I play really well and I'm really satisfied with my game, but I haven't able to string good sessions together. I have a good day, then play badly the next.

For about the past 3 months my bankroll hasn't moved, I'm still winning but my win rate has sucked and I've been cashing out everything I win. Part of my problem has been I'm playing too many tables and I make hasty bad decisions so I've been 4 tabling again mostly. But when I get stuck I get frustrated and impatient and have a hard time focusing on just 4 tables and I usually open more.

I tend to dwell on bad plays I make, I get obsessive. It seems like I have to play so well/get lucky to win anything, but losing is soo easy. idk i should probably stop whining because I still make like 3x more than I have at any other point in my life. I'm just frustrated because I feel like I'm failing. I am failing.

Fortunately I don't really tilt, so I haven't had any disastrous sessions. I may get some coaching or something, get someone else's point of view. That would probably help. I'm also thinking about dropping down to 1/2 for a few weeks and see how that goes. A lot of good players here have been dabbling in omaha, maybe I'll give that a try. I'm just frustrated that I can't get my bankroll up. Every time i start playing well I have a spew session.

Of course suicide is my ace in the hole, or my get out of jail free card as TalentedTom puts it

Vent over, ty for listening

I'm breakeven or close to it (up like 2-3 bi) over 25k hands and it sucks. I guess it's even worse for you and that can't be fun.

the biggest stopper of bankrolls increasing is massive/frequent cash outs.

Then you're stuck playing a lower limit and never actually moving up comfortably so you're expected winnings are much lower than they should be.

Maybe spend less money, manage your money outside of poker too. That definitely helps.

sounds like you need a confidence boost to get your level of play back up. my advice is to drop down and feel great killing those guys over 10k hands or something. trying another game is always fun but you mostly need some good winning sessions in a row and thats tough to attain in a new game. good luck.

i think you should start investing or something else in order to motivate yourself. definately take some time off and really ask yourself what you want and what you need to be doing better. take a vacation with some friends, have fun. then come back and really get motivated and start grinding again. just do something to get your mind off of poker for awhile. don't force yourself to play if its not fun and your not motivated.
