ugh, I think this is the first time I've actually been tilted by poker. Last summer I played like 200k hands, had an 18BI downswing but still I had my head on straight. In the last week I've had 4BI swings at NL50 every 1-2k hands. Im playing so bad and really this is like the first time in my life i've felt angry/tilted at my own incompetence
I want to play, I want to learn how to play, but talking to rockman last night I know my poker 'career' is going to end in 4 months and rl obligations are really restricting the amount of time I can put in this summer.
And today I was just offered a 9-5 lab tech position which would basically mean I will never play seriously.

I want to put the hands in tmr, but im kinda tilted atm. Restrict myself to only 4 tables? (im only playing 6-9 now anyways)
I dont want to move down because i have over 100BI for NL50 and I know I can beat Nl25
ugh what should I do

4 table, think about every decision from the most basic lvl

How much money you have has absolutely nothing to do with if you should move down or not.

I think this is wrong. You shouldnt move down just because you get a little downswing. See it as an investment in yourself.

In my opinion, cutting down on the amount of tables will be of primary importance. I bet that you dont think the situations trough enough, and just play some auto-pilot thing which really doesnt help you improve at all. Check some CR-vids? I'd really advise you to look at vitalmyth's vids.
