figure out what you think you are capable of bb/100. Play your best 10k hands. Compare how you good you think you are to how you really did. Most good players have been where you are at some point I'd imagine. Its about progress, just need to figure out what is holding you back and fix it. I began to see better results when I realised that playing at the .5-1 level I'd have to play LOT of hands to see the results I would like to. You might just be afraid to accept that you are forced to grind like everyone else, untill you have a bankroll that will allow you to see some decent return.

Get some exercise before you play, you will be a lot calmer.

1. Get a baller job
2. Build a baller bankroll
3. Play live poker successfully
4. Quit the baller job
5. Get a super gay nickname like "The Grinder"
6. Get sponsored by an online site that includes a contract that says, "We will forever kaboomswitch you..."
7. Profit

If you have a canal to get money somewhere else than poker you may think you are rolled to 1/2. You just have the roll in the long run, not at the moment.

After many busto's you finally get robusto... for a while at least.

Work on your tourney game if you think you suck at them, high MTT finishes do wonders for your bankroll. I'm in the same boat as you, I can't stand grinding the micro limits any more so I'm purely doing MTTs/STTs until I get my roll to 2k or so.
