Default Re: Quiting Poker but why ?

I obviously can't tell very much from just the OP but it sounds like you commit to your hands too much. Reading hands vs unorthodox/crappy players is extremely important, and you should work on understanding the logic of those who appear illogical. Many people get too confused when playing against someone who is too loose and end up justifying the looseness b/c they stack off too easy when the donk hits hard.

working on your hand reading will also allow you to play more hands yourself, which will make it easier for you to move on when a big hand is cracked. A big mistake I used to make when I played super tight was getting too attached to my big PP's partially b/c I at least subconsciously felt like I had to make as much as possible with them, since I was folding everything else.

also, if handling bad beats is a problem for you I strongly advise you not to move away from cash games. Variance is much less harsh at cash than tourneys.
