^^this is pretty much dead on.

Storm, please consider that it is self delusional to think that this your problem is a "bankroll management" issue. It's not.

Stick is right, if you can't divorce yourself from the money and start thinking in terms of 'poker units' (big blinds, buy-ins, etc.) instead of dollars and cents, then that is something you need to work on.

The fact of the matter is, [U]if you can't beat $50NL, then playing $200NL is not the solution.[/U]

[B]And you can't beat  $50NL. [/B]Sorry, it doesn't matter if the [I]reason [/I]you can't beat it is lack of skill or if the reason is lack of discipline and tilt issues. The fact remains, [B][U]you can't beat [/U][/B][U][B]$50NL.[/B][/U]

Let me also just add that a lot of people play at a lower level on line than they do live (estelle comes to mind), partially because the skill level is a lot higher at similar stakes than it is live.

So let me suggest an alternate course of action:
'Demote' your self to $10NL and play there until you resolve your problem with thinking about money instead of 'units', and, more importantly, until you are immune from tilt. And take that $4k and put it in your new child's college fund.
