Default I\'ve finally had enough

I have never in my life failed to do anything I really wanted. I graduated from college with honore and law school summa cum laude. I attacked poker the same way. I read everything, I studied, I practiced, I tracked all of my stats and checked them constantly. I have played tens of thousands of hands each week for 2 1/2 years. Well it is time I admit I am just not smart enough to beat the small stakes NLHE game. For that small group of you that are actually beating the game, congratulations. You possess some special talent I will never have. This has been such a part of my life now for so long that I can't imagine not playing. Short of hiring Phil Ivey to sweat my game and tell me what is wrong though I am completely out of ideas for how to improve and yet I can't beat the lowest games consistantly.

I would give anything to be able to play.

What kind of world am I living in where the first reply isn't the obvious YSSCKY?

TRY LIMIT, you seem like the non-creative type (honor roll + law school + cant beat ssnl). so limit should be awesome for you

You probably don't have enough gamble / balls. Go play PLO for a while until you become immune to variance and can scoop huge pots with bottom pair-no kicker.
