Looking for some opinions and help:
Before Black Friday I was playing as high as $75/$150 Limit O8 online, but now I am struggling to be profitable in live games as low as $4/$8 and $8/$16 O8 and LHE.
The level of thinking in these games seems to be "Oh, it's my turn, I call", but when my hands do not hold up, I get impatient and start playing poorly. Then, when I lose, I want to play a higher game instead of continuing to grind and end up compounding bad sessions.
This has hampered my ability to re-build my poker bankroll and the frustration is palpable at this point.
I have spent the last few months practicing small stakes online, but can't help but still feel bored by the stakes. I have no problem staying focused and playing good tournament strategy no matter the stakes, but when I play cash games I just can not seem to manage my bankroll properly and am losing due to boredom and impatience.
Any advice would be appreciated! (Even if it is just to stick to tournaments!)
