I have to be honest. This gives me anxiety and makes me feel sorry for you.
I know we have never met but I would like to believe your TIME on this great earth could be better spent on other things other than chasing some poker dream 2$ at a time. You could literally make more money looking under couch cushions.
As preachy as it sounds, I think the best course of action is for you to insta-ban yourself on all the online card rooms and get your life in order. You've been chasing these flops since I joined this site and you are not any further ahead.
You said previously that you need to find work because times are tough. THAT sounds like a good idea. Volunteer somewhere. Get out and clear your mind. Doors will open for you that you previously didn't know existed - real opportunities. None of this will happen if you keep part of yourself attached to a big score belief.
Some people are probably going to hammer me for this, but I meant it with the greatest sincerity. There is no future in what your doing.
Be strong.

I would rather follow your new thread on how you turned your life around report in 'other topics.'

Hey Devon, Mov makes some good points.. I'm not sure if you only play poker for the pure love of the game (say rather than watching tv) and if that's why then no issue. However if it is taking away from family/real life then for sure you need to rethink.. I consider you a friend and hopefully you do the same with me, so don't take this the wrong way. If we are all off base then please tell us to bug off.. ;)

P.S. I consider you a pretty solid player but such an infinitesimally small % of players actually make any "real" money at poker. All things considered, most of us should just treat it as a hobby we love rather than a lifestyle.

Or moving the couch the cushions sit on...

Sorry, really couldn't resist this.. All the regs around here know what I mean..:p

Thanks for the concern guys but I gave up trying to "make it big" in poker a while ago. Its just my entertainment, like watching TV, golfing, etc... I've been about a break even player for the last 3 years, which I am ok with.

My kids are adults now and are starting lives of their own and my wife is starting work more so I have more free time when I am not working.
I just really like playing poker, its fun, even the bad beats. I vent and post them in here but once I let it out, it doesn't affect how I play. I have played long enough to know that if there are cards to come, you can still lose the hand.

Having said all that, I would like to be able to afford to play bigger buy in tournaments, thus the reason I am trying to increase my bankroll but I want to do it slowly and increase my skills as I move up. I am giving myself 12 months to accomplish this goal.
