Ok, so I'm a long time profitable online player but apparently I've probably been gambling a lot more then playing solid long term poker. Usually what I'd do is deposit say $400 and sit at four 1/2NL tables with $100 each. Play very tight agressive, (Fold anything but AK, 22-AA pre OOP) and raise in position with QJs+, 22+ and lots of suited connectors. Rarely call preflop, usually raise for info or fold.

So every time I double up at a table I leave and then every time I get up $200 I cash out the $200 and keep playing with the $400. Every time my BR halves I dropped limits. Apparently surprsingly (by reading around this forum and some other sources) it is a miracle that I'm consistently positive doing this (about 3.5 years now off and on). I get cleaned out of my deposit here and there and then take a break from poker because I tilt hard from multiple bad beats. (Hence the cashing out rather then building a BR) because I do not trust myself.

So anyways after that background info, I have decided I want to re-evaluate my game and start playing properly (full stack, larger br, no cleanouts). And would like some advice.

I was thinking of a $400 bankroll for 50NL... Only 8 BIs but I think maybe it suits me because after losing 8 BIs I doubt I could concentrate on playing properly, because I'm assuming in that situation I would have had to have awful luck. My other reasoning for the $400 level and 50NL is I think at 25NL it will be such small stakes compared to what I'm used to (usually 1/2 but often take a fullstack to 2/4 or 5/10 trying to get lucky if I'm on a big hotsteak) that I will not be able to make myself play properly. Also on Titanpoker most people at that level sit with like 5-10$.

50NL I think I could concentrate on. Any suggestions of a better strategy? Is 800BBs really way to small? I noticed a lot of people play with way more, but I just paid $22000 for school tuition and I don't exactly have money to burn. Thanks!
