Your far better now than just playing the cookie cutter type of game that can beat $50NL and really need to be playing according to dynamics, stacks and the players at the table. Image matters if they are paying attention to you. FE matters if they can fold and bluffing is only good if they look past their cards. Be aware of who is on the left to act, who has acted and where you are in every hand on every table.
This post made me think about self-owning. Consider this: It is possible that any problems you may have at 25nl and the like will be caused mostly by self-owning. They really aren't that good. More than anything else set up opportunities for the opponents to own themselves. Be the rake? Don't play to crush. Don't play to own people. Don't play to win pots or play winning sessions or win money. Just sit down and hand out the rope and watch people hang themselves. If they aren't in a mood to spew off their money just wait until they are.
