my best advice is to stay fresh. i just took 3+ months off after a down session. when i returned, i started with the 22s, 33s, 55s, to see how the break did for me. i played so much better, and was itm over .50 for quite awhile. now i'm consistently doing well at the 215s. playing too much leads to making bad decisions. i started with limit hold-em and i find nl so much more enjoyable. maybe your experience will be different.
