Ok, so OP was obviously drunk when he made that post and is in a similar state right now ( I only post on FTR while wasted, obv.). Really, once I realised that poker could pay for beer I was absolutely stoked about the game. And although I'm expecting to pay for a bit more than beer this time around, any money I can gain from poker is awesome.

Anyway, thanks for all the kind words, and I completely agree than the fucking rake is kicking my ass, fortunately I know that I can beat the 5+50s and really any Mtt <$5.

Therefore, despite an 18% ROI in the fucking 1+ .20 bullshit touneys. I've run really really absurdly well (+120% ROI) while taking a couple shots at the $4 +40 180s (also a 5 card draw $4 +.40 tourney, I kick ass at that game and I could go on a long tangent about how playing 5cd has vastly improved my ability to read players, but I'll save that for when I can beat more than just fish at 5cd.) and one 5 +.50 NLHE SNG.

My roll is currently at $60 and things are looking up.

My stance on cash games is that I get really bored doing the same thing all the time, I'm a somewhat proven winner (at least before the ban I was) @ 25NL, but really, I can't concentrate while playing cash games, I don't find them enjoyable and I tend to get too agressive (I get bored if I can't justify stealing blinds).

So anyway, thanks for all the replies, I'll start posting some questions soon.
