You should post on poker clinic thread they should help you out gl

Tikay doesn't have access to your hand histories.
As belsibub said, post some hands in "The Poker Clinic" - there will be lots of people willing to offer advice.

If you're in danger of losing your house maybe you should take a break from playing immediately and take stock of the situation before risking any more money.

As GaryQQQ says,if you are in danger of losing your house, you need to do something about it. On no account cancel your sky poker account, its the only thing keeping you afloat. Try selling yourself to make up the shortfall of any 'winnings that you are losing' thats what i do, so far ive made 56p this year alone using this method, i hope this helps - im off to 'work' now cos im skint.

Wow sounds pretty bad mate my advice as others have said would be to stop playing for a while and maybe seek professional help if you are spending money you cannot afford on playing poker, good bankroll management is vital as is enjoying playing it seems to me that you may be having a problem with both of these at the moment, variance is also a pain at times we all suffer from.I certainly feel you need a break from the game mate ,  regards   fin..

 move over to dym games or deepstack try and build your roll up first off get rid of the bad run go play on the freeplay side till you start running good then come back..... cash aint for every1 some of the best players cant do cash so if you running like that id stay away from it and go for tournies and stt ....... most important thought is to have fun gl

lol, nice comment fins.

I think.....the saying "lose my house" - is the same as "stick your house on it" - you aren't ACTUALLY in danger of losing your house are you swiper??

If you are playing anywhere near proper money, (10/20p+) - and you still aren't sure whether its a game of skill, or a game of luck, then....you need to stop asap.

I don't understand how the people who risk this kind of money can constantly say it is fixed (i know thats not what ur saying). Fair enough if you are playing for pennies, its not that bad, but to think its rigged then play for big money just dont make sense.

Post some hands swiper - people might be able to help you.

Cash is completely different to mtt's or sng's so your strategy for playing cash is probably completely wrong.

If you google Ryan fees book this should give you some basic fundamentals of how to play cash, after you have applied the basic concepts to your game its best to post hand histories in the poker clinic with anything you are unsure of.

Also i would start at the lowest levels possible and play tight abc poker to start with.

I can't add much to what has already been said Mr Swiper, but I endorse Dohx7's point - Post a few Hand Histories in the Poker Clinic, & you'll get plenty of good advice.

Rich Orford was running bad in Cash this week, & so he took a break from Cash and played a few DYM's.
 
It's impossible to lose much at DYM's, & it adds to your self-confidence when you win 2 or 3 on the bounce.

Most of all, PLAY WITHIN YOUR SPENDING LIMITS. Beyond that, you will play scared, & scared play is ALWAYS bad play, because you are scared to push or call when you should.
