I am a compulsive gambler myself and I'm afraid to tell you whether you want to hear it or not you are too. There were several parts of your post that sounded just like many of the thoughts I've had over my life.
 
A detached handicapper would not lay so much on the line for one game. Sports handicapping is about the long haul and putting so many eggs in 1 basket is a sure sign problem gambling.
 
Not trying to preach to you hear, but compulsive gamblers need to be told straight up how things are.
 
Your having trouble with poker because it's the one form of gambling that you are involved in personally. With a sports bet your studying, but once you place the bet your part is done. With poker it's all up to you. Your zoning out because your mind is on the money aspect of the game and not the players/cards.
 
You may not think your having a problem now because you still have money, but your day of reckoning is coming. It does for all problem gamblers. I've gone on good runs before and won tens of thousands of dollars in a matter of days only to blow it all back just as quickly.
 
To be honest I don't have much of a solution for you because your problem is a compulsive one and I'm not a psychiatrist, but I do honestly wish you well and hope your road doesn't take you down the same path that mine did. Good Luck.
 
P.S. I know the Pirates stink, but the Brewers ain't exactly the shit either. How could you make this your play of the year? :)
