You are 18 and are experiencing the compulsions of youth. Recognize them for what they are and try to resist doing something that you know is not smart in the long run. (From personal experience I recognize this is much easier said then done [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] )

For instance, I crushed the Pokers $25 and $50 NL tables. I now play the $100 NL tables and do well enough, but I recognize that I need to be crushing this level before I move up to the $200+ tables. While my approach is probably more conservative than most, I never worry about variance taking away my entire bankroll.

Anyway, hope this helps. Good luck to you in the future.
