I appreciate your comments Aeq. They are probably more spot on than I care to admit. I am sure that is isn't my biggest weakness (maybe hyperbole is) but I have been happily toiling away in the micro levels for two years now grinding away a tidy profit (3-8 buyins on average/month-sure some worse and some better, but on average that is a pretty fair estimate) and withdrawing each month. Last month I decided to try and build my roll and get out of the micros. Instead of just playing my game (usually a tight nit, FWIW) I have placed too much expectation on the results of each session and it affects how I play.

Yes, the solution is obvious. Set reasonable goals and get back to happily grinding it out. But for whatever reason, I have a hard time doing that. My comment about GAMBOL was intended to communicate that down in the micros, I should not be placing myself in coinflip situations (skewing it in my favor due to fold equity). But because I am trying to build the roll as quick as possible, I overplay some hands and it is starting to piss me off. So this thread originally was intended to get some feedback (which I am quite appreciative of) and put the frustration somewhere so I can hopefully get back to normal.

I hope I am not coming off as defensive, as I am open to what you are saying. I am only trying to better communicate my situation.
