I'm only an average player in general but I just can't make a decent long term profit at ring. It's fairly frustrating.

Seems like like I make consistent progress when playing only SnG's and when I play any significant amount of ring, it brings me down to negative or break/even status.

I'm thinking it's mostly a patience issue. After an hour sitting at a table I think i lose patience. Since I play NL $10 and no one folds, I'm playing mostly Taggy, and limping marginal hands with position. I basically feel like a nut peddler rather than a poker player. So after an hour or so I get frustrated and try to make moves, and anyone that's played at these levels knows that rarely works. People don't fold. They won't fold their Ax if they have any kind of flush draw. They won't fold overcards on a rag flop. This can work out to my advantage as long as I get in with the best of it. But it seems I end up bleeding more money then I take in when I win a pot.

Maybe I just don't get ring. I started as an MTT/SnG player, and made the move to ring a few months ago. I like the idea of ring and don't always have the time commitment for a longer MTT or SnG game but I just can't make my ring game work.
