tl;dr - not enjoying my stakes anymore but no bankroll to move up - time to quit?
It's been an incredibly busy 12 months outside of poker for me: moved halfway across the country, got a new job, bought my first house, got married, and got a puppy. I'm not going to tell you which of those things I'm most happy with apart from the fact that she's four-legged and very hairy...
The result of this is I have far less free time on my hands and less expendable cash than I used to.
Poker as a game is moving on at an incredibly fast pace, right down to in-depth discussions taking place NL4 tables online and as a result the game is now tough to beat even at the lowest stakes without a good amount of ongoing studying. If I lived near a casino it might be different but online is all I've got available...
I love the game of poker as a whole but to be honest I'm just plain bored of trying to grind up the microstakes cash tables for a couple of quid an hour because I feel my time could be better spent elsewhere.
Would you guys recommend switching to a 100% study approach until my financial situation changes, switching from cash to playing MTTs as and when I can because, let's be honest, they are more exciting, or maybe just call a day on the whole thing? I absolutely refuse to move to higher stakes cash just for the excitement and [EDIT: TO SEE IF:] I could beat it and put everything else at risk.
