Moving up in stakes / Staying invested in Poker
I've been playing online and live poker for a very long time now. An embarrassing amount of time. I've been obsessed and dedicated for the full extent of this. The results are there. I do very well in the games I play. I usually play 5NL-50NL (More recently a lot of 4/5/6 Card PLO/PLO8). I'll run it up a good amount of $- 10x my investment or whatever, Then cash out. I'll leave the initial buyin and continue to play. Of course downswings happen and sometimes I need to reload, but I pretty much always end up getting it back and then some fairly quickly.
There have been times in my life where I relied heavily on the money I was making playing poker, and other times where
I didn't necessarily need to withdraw the money, but still did.
I'm really getting tired of this. I feel that I have a gift at this game that I'm nowhere near fully realizing.
I've been doing this by myself. With no real tools or support. No coaching, backing, etc.
What mindset adjustments might help me to keep my money invested in poker? What advice would you give a winning
microstakes player to help them move up in stakes?

it doesn't make sense to be broke in real life while holding chunks of currency on online poker sites. however, if youre financially stable, then avoiding withdrawal and choosing to move up when appropriate is preferred.
Invest in tools and coaching of some form. If you think you’re going to beat online midstakes cash relying on your having “a gift” at the game, you’re entirely delusional
