taking small stakes seriously

[BTMegaCash]

so for a while i was consistently playing 2-4 NL and 3-6 NL but after a few real bad tilt sessions i have gone busto. I went busto about two months ago and every time i get money i put it on poker sites. The problem however for me is i have a very hard time caring about 5-10 dollar pots when just a few months i was playing 200-300 or more dollar hands. Is there something i can do or do i just need to learn that the small stakes are all i got for now and learn to care about these small pots.

The fact that you can have income higher than 99.9% of the worlds population playing these stakes usually does it for me.

just a clarification i have moved down to .10/.20 NL from the 2-4 3-6NL games i was playing

Try to never think of it as $, but as BB.

[BTMegaCash]

so how many BB should i try to make

[dirtylobster]

Maybe you have a gambling mind and get your kicks from dollars? Try to look at poker money as big blinds (not dollars) and aim at getting as much chips from your opponents as you can. I can get more excited making a great play at NL25 than I do stacking someone w/ AA vs. QQ at NL100.

and also i have gone back to a real job so i do make some money should i keep trying the real small stakes after every paycheck or save for a while (a month or two) get a couple K and try and run at 2-4 3-6 level again

my goal is to eventually get back to the point where i am making enough so i don't need to work through college so i want to be making about 25K per year so i can have the bank roll to play some big tournies and see how it works out for me

You can EASILY make 25k in two months at small stakes if you're a good player and dedicated..
