Sorry to hear about your downswing. I agree with Da Goat though, you should move down to 100NL, not 50NL. There's a big skill difference between the two imo, but since you've been playing 200 & 400 recently, I wouldn't worry about it.

Also, if lagging it up works for you, why try to force the tag game? Use whichever the players at your table dictate.
