I'm about to stop playing poker.

OP, think about what you are saying for a minute. Really think. You do not want to be in a 7 way pot with high pocket pair. You're playing with a bunch of old guys who like to call because this is where they spend all their time. What you need to do is play contrary to your style and start playing those less premium hands in the hopes that you will be the one who sucks out or you need to stop playing live at a casino where the spread is so bad. Stick with online poker until you can afford to travel to a real casino. Personally I don't think you stand much of a chance at a 2/2 local game with 7 calling stations who all want to cap PF.
