yes i have read the forums and tried to look for this info elsewhere, i promise!

nothing spectacular here. I have done all the normal newbie things but i have one question. According to poker tracker, i average 3.8 (40 odd tournaments) in the level tournaments i play ($5, single table, poker stars, 9 players, NL HE.)

this means i don't really lose money but i hardly make any either. I know the all important bank roll plays a huge part in moving up (I average 4.6 on $10) but at what point do you think you have mastered a level? <3?

And yes, i think i have to do some reading about the mysterious 'bubble' as i seem to come 4th too much for my liking.
