Alright, heres the deal. I am 18 and have been playing poker for about 2 years now, and have made many deposits online. Each time I deposit, I start playing smart and end up getting a fairly decent bankroll (about 4x the deposit). After getting a fairly decent amount of money on my account, I seem to become "Decentasized" to the limit i was playing at, and I feel that I have to move up to have fun.

I always start at playing .10 cent bb ring games and then I will move up to .25, then .50, then I will move all the way up to 1.00 bb games. I then always blow all of my money with the huge blinds and end up pissed. I know the simple answer is to stick with the lower blinds, but I CAN'T HELP IT! I just get this crazy feeling that I can move up and win so much more money.

My question is..does this happen to anyone else and what do you do to cope with it? I know if I played smart I would be making a good amount of money for me, but I move up in the blinds and blow it all. Am I just too dumb and immature to handle online poker or does this happen to others? Any comments would be appreciated!
