Man, that sucks.  I hate playing cash games even when I'm sober.  Too much can be lost in a short time with bad beats or bad runs.  The highest I usually play now is a $30 tourneys or $30 buy in to a smaller cash game.  And I abhor PokerStars, as I think their software is dirty as fuck.  I do play at UB regularly now, and believe it or not, it seems as if the best hands before or after the flop probably win MORE than they should.   

Use to do that alot in my younger days

I can drink and I can gamble but I cant do both.

How do you figure that?  If you're playing at too high a limit in a cash game, that's your own fault.  It's the same as betting too much on a game, no?

It's more of a mental thing for me.When you drop a unit on a game, you do it before the game so you're calm, cool and collective.When your playing poker, you're in the heat of battle, usually tired, on some kind of substance and stressed.It's just allot easier for me to regulate my bankroll on sports.Quitibg poker has been the best thing for my bankroll.

Most i ever lost in 1 day at online poker was $300 yet i am often stoned when playing.

I don't know why they call them Double or Nothing.  You don't even double your money when factoring in the entry fee.  And I don't see the allure of them, but if it works for you, go get em'!

It sounded better than '1.985 times your money or Nothing Tourneys'.  Or because you get back double the money that you put into the prize pool. 

Double or nothin games are easier to cash.
