I've played poker for a few years now, both live and online. I've spent a few thousand here and there as usual going bust playing out of my limits or tilting and losing it all.

I've recently got my hands on most of the popular poker books and am studying them over the next couple of weeks

I believe I keep going bust because I haven't been playing the right limits. I have tried starting with $10, $50 and $100 and I just can't keep the patients going.

I've played 1/2c 2/5c ring games and $1-$5 MTT tournaments. I just can't graps the concept of spending hours for busting out in the money for $2-10 in the MTTs and playing 20 cent pots for hours on end makes me go insane!

I want to play MTT and Cash games. The only trouble is I really can only afford around $300 to start.

What should I do? I know I can beat the higher limits and higher buy-in MTT's but I just can't afford it!

Like I said I don't want to spend 6 hours playing a $2 buy-in MTT to bust out and win $4.50.

What do you guys think?
