I have found my key flaw. I like to PLAY poker.

There is no doubt that profitable poker is different from having a fun time at poker.

Don't get me wrong, I have fun playing poker almost no matter what. But I starrted playing for fun/money 34 years ago and I have a LOT of long held "habits" that for lack of a better term are pretty "pedestrian" by good players standards..

I like to do many of the things that truly work against making money properly.

The only solution I have found to this is to get 2 $$$ tables going and play them properly then play a "Play Money" table and goof off there.

My other solution is to do 6 man tables since with less people you can "play" the game more.

Has anyone else had this same problem and how have you overcome it?
