I don't know you but from reading some posts I imagine you need to get less emotionally involved in the games. Who cares if it's a slow game?

In the first situation I wait for good cards and play them.

In the latter your only move will be to push of course. When first in the pot you can push junk from sb, top 50% from button, top 30% from CO, top 15% from CO+1 - you get the idea, and reads don't matter much.
