I am done with cash games for the near future. I just cannot seem to be a consistent winner. All my decent poker winnings have come from SnGs and MTTs. Cash games I have always lost money in the long run. Its a shame, because I love playing them, I just cannot win consistently. Days I will feel like I make good plays, and end up being 8 BI down, or days I play good, make 2BI. But in long run I am loosing more than winning, and it just depresses me.

So I have decided to back to the building blocks and I am dedicating all my Poker time to playing lots and lots and lots of SnGs. I have done all right in these before and I feel more comfortable there. I am gonna be starting off right down with the drags of the poker society and grinding $2-5 SnGs. I have a huge bankroll, but I am going to need it, if I want to make the correct plays.

I am off for 10 days untill I go back to work, and within that time I hope to have played alot of games. Right now I do not know what I can achieve per day, but over next few days I am looking to gauge that and set myself some targets.

If anyone does see me playing Cash games, please pester the hell out of me. Considering to exclude myself from cash games, but do not want to, as I want to at least have some self-control and not play them. If I cannot discipline myself to not play cash, then maybe I should not continue with poker.

Merry Christmas all.

Gl Chewits,
Its a whole different game and I think you should stick to what works better for you.

Still I hope I will get some time and give you some Cash Games coaching in exchange for Donkaments coaching :o

After you play about 1000 sngs or so you're gonna get so sick of them and get back into cash games. That's what I did a long time ago and I haven't touched sngs since then.
