I had the same trouble. My problem was a lack of accountability.
When I was down, I would put my nose the the grindstone and win a bunch. But when I was up I was "only playing with winnings" so I loosened up and gambled more. That caused me to lose.
What fixed my problem was PokerTracker. Suddenly every loss showed up as a red stat, and all my idiot plays hurt my stats.
PokerTracker made me accountable for my actions. Everything went on my permanent record.
If you're having trouble for the same reason, try downloading the beta test of PokerTracker 3.

Drawing hands like Suited Connectors and Ax are also problematic from this position because finding out how much it'll cost you to draw might end up costing you more than you think.

Without the benefit of any add-on poker applications like HUD, Poker Tracker, etc. you are in a fix. Munchrs is right, you are playing above your bankroll but because your stuck on FT (where you made your deposited) the best advice you could get would be to tighten way up! If you can read a few books or (if your strapped for cash) read through a few on-line articles you might gain some aluable insight into what your doing wrong.

Above his bankroll?
.05/.10 is the lowest possible on fulltilt I thought.
Just keep practicing and gaining knowledge on the game. You can learn a lot through books, magazines and forums like this one.

I consider myself an average player and i usually play 0.05/0.10 tables on fulltilt. Ever since my deposit about a month ago, i have been going from 50$ to 80$ and back down to 30$. Then back up. I can't seem to get over the 100$ mark.
Any advice?
Thanks
