First, you don't need PokerTracker to crush the low stakes online NL games for more than 20 big blinds/100. You need to know how to play well. Think carefully about every big pot. Think about how to play to lose the least and win the most against a range of hands. Think about the mistakes you see your opponents make, and how to exploit them.

Second, with a $500 bankroll and uncertain skills, you should move down to NL 25. It may not be as much fun, but unless you can crush these games, you have huge leaks. Get used to winning, then move back up while maintaining that feeling.

Third, with $500, you should chase bonuses to build up your bankroll. At this point, bonuses can easily double your win rate or more. As you play on different sites, you will also be exposed to different styles of play, which is good for your game.
