I've been unemployed since June and in the last month and a half I have  decided to see if I can make playing poker into a living. I've been  playing tournaments since 2004 which is a lot longer than a lot of  successful players have been playing. I think the year between 05/06 I  played at least one tournament per day. After UIGEA was passed, I  basically turned my back on the game and started focusing on other  projects.

My biggest win was in a live tourney when two people hit the bad beat jackpot at my table and I was paid $1,300 :D

I  have no bankroll or steady income. I live odd job to odd job. I am  trying to transition to cash games and in particular omaha because I  like the action and it seems like the playing field is a little more  level in omaha.

So basically every few days I'll deposit $20-$40  and see what happens. Maybe I am playing stakes that are too high,  $0.25/$0.50??? But usually I will grind it out in omaha hi for a few  hours, make a $3-4 profit and then bam, my entire deposit is lost when I  play a hand where my opponent has the nuts and I have the second nuts.  Every few days... Repeat...

I did recently turn $20 into $400 one  night. I felt like I did that on my own and then I turned the $400 into  $700 which I got to on a bad beat. When I had the $700 in my account I  was completely unaware of how to use that type of bankroll. I jumped  into the $2/$4 omaha hi games and it was gone in 15 minutes.

Thoughts? Advice? I am starting to second guess my own skill and I am thinking about staking players.
