I have logged over 5K hands in $10 NLHE and alas it was a complete waste of time from a profitable standpoint. I have pretty much broke even. I am done with micro stakes ring games. I just can't do it.

It seems no matter how much I raise preflop with premier hands, it's either some jackass with suited crap or 3 limpers with marginal hands that ALWAYS draw out.

For the past few days I have been trying a different strategy. I've bought in short-stacked and pushed every time I had any good hand. Again, I broke even but that's what happens when you leave it up to constant coin flips.

I really excel at SnGs and MTTs but I always feel the need to play ring games. Maybe I should just stick to what I'm good at because I just can't get ahead here. I am great at pulling bluffs and being aggressive in tournaments but you all know you can't get cute in micro stakes ring games. So I play ABC poker, stay disciplined, yet I gain nothing.
