If you play to loose because you get bored, waiting for good hands, play more tables.
True. My standard is 4 @ a time.
Be patient, with 5 or less players on the table you will get 100% unbored. The stages right before getting in the money are the most thrilling you can have playing poker.
Start as a rock, finish as a maniac. You established a solid image, so when you start making moves they will respect you. Sometimes the only hands you will win are blind steals when they are pretty big, which makes it a worthy move. Last one I've won my stack was 100% built with blind steals, first flop I've seen was when I busted out the bubble.

Cash Games if u wanna move up blinds quick while having a small bankroll I suggest Short Stack Strategy. If u have enough u can play Big Stack Strategy (my favorite). S&G's u just gotta play aggressive in the beggining while the blinds are still low and switch up when they catchup or when the blinds start getting higher.
i'll try my best to resist next time. I think it's because i get bored and so for some reason i play
