I'm a little conflicted about my game at the moment and looking for opinions or advice.
A little background may help explain my problem.
I started out playing for play at absolute and doing the freerolls when I could, eventually I won $5 there and used it to play some of the $0.50 sng's until I rolled it up to around $20 then deposited $25 of my own when I saw that I could play a little. From there I built it up to around $100 playing the $0.10NL and the sng's still before moving to Bodog. At Bodog I worked off the bonus and then was stagnating so decided to pull out and put my last $8 into an MTT which I came 3rd in and pocketed about $1k.
The problem is, since that time I have moved back to Absolute and stagnated again, I can't seem to move past $1190 (though just came off a slight rush and am finally over $1200). I have moved up to the $6+1 SnG's and won a couple of them, I can sit at the $0.10 and $0.25NL and $0.25/$0.50, $0.50/$1 LHE tables and win, hell can even play the low stake MTT's and cash but I can't seem to do it consistently enough to move past breakeven play.
I have a feeling I can play good poker, for example in the bodog MTT I came back from a 2k stack on the final table to having around 120k, last night in a qualifier at Absolute I came back from around 900 chips to win, so I know in myself I can knuckle down and play smart or play aggressive but I can't seem to translate that at the table in ring.
I have a feeling that it maybe because I am playing at limits I can afford but didn't get the skills in them that I would have if I had of grinded the micro-limits if I hadn't of done well at Bodog so my question is really the following:
Should I just keep playing the limits I am at with my BR and pay for my education through breaking even rather than winning or should I withdraw most of my BR, play with say $100 and grind my way back up through the limits to try and learn that way?
I don't mind the grinding, for instance at the $0.10 table just now I sat for like 2 hours and played 2 hands (and wasn't nut camping, was getting constant trash like j2, 24, etc) before playing a rush of 55 setting, KK, AQ, QQ, KK, AQ but I find that often I will either hit a rush and play it wrong and just lose any profit I have made, or I'll just get totally missed by the deck all night.
I think the major lesson I have to learn (apart from how the hell to play LHE well, just can't seem to get past the fact I can't push people off their hands like I can in NL) is how to minimize losses in hands properly so am interested to see what people think is the better way to learn that.
[edit]
Just going over PT stats, and fairly bad metric since I only have around 3.5k hands in it since the crash, I think I may have found a leak in my game I need to fix
