I have been playing now almost 1 1/2 years. Started with FTP before the FBI took a giant poop on my keyboard. I made a simple 100 dollar deposit on the site to see what it was about and low and behold ... almost 2 days later... " This site has been seized ". with that being said I play most live 1 2 nl. at the casino and charity games.
I do OK.. I am a fairly tight player. With that being said since then I have only made small deposits on Sportsbook.. 30 here 40 there... and I end up going up and down and then crashing and burning. My question is this... since I make those deposits ( small ) I end up trying to play .5 and 10 cent buy ins... having 3 100 x bb, does that influence how people play... IN everyone's opinion.. I am really trying to learn and turn this into a " second job " but no matter what I do it seems like I get fished out on again and again.. I understand the Bad beats and suck outs happen but would people play a lot different playing higher stakes ? Should I make a deposit into the 200-300 dollar cat ? and play 1 2 online.
I know that people at least appear to play a lot different online vs live but is it that much different when your talking higher money ?
I am really thinking about laying down the internet cards for good as I am beyond frustrated... ( my last bad hand was AA vs 9 10 ) and it did not turn out good for me.
Thoughts ?

Even if you are one of the best poker players, sometimes you will run into bad streaks..
I know that by proper BRM(bankroll Management), you have to have at least 20 BI(Buy Ins) for 100xbb cash games.
and always keep rebuy your stack up to the maximum to make max profit when you catch a fish all in with the best of it.

Take notice that AA vs 9T, prefolp to the river will be a winner 80% of the time that means out of 100 hands, 20 times 9T will be a winner and you have to be prepared for such times when you get the much better hand when you shove, but still lose.

$1/$2 online is a really tough game and there's no way you should play it with 1.5 BIs. with $300 you should be playing .05/.10 or .10/.25.

I wouldnt recommend playing 10/25c with 300, thats only 12 buy-ins,
ive gone on a 19bi all in ev downswing in less than 8k hands, which is just variance, so 20 would be the minimum and thats if your any good,30+ closer to 50 imo.
