Re: the next level????
Occasionally spend some time doing "research" on your own, with pencil/paper/calculator/spreadsheet analyze some situations that you wonder about.
You're gonna have to read Theory of Poker (Sklansky) sooner or later.
If you'd like to focus on limit hold'em specifically, check out small stakes hold'em (miller), mid-limit hold'em poker (ciaffone &briar) and hold'em poker for advanced players (sklanky & malmuth).
If you'd like to focus on no limit hold'em tournaments specifically, read Harrington on Hold'em Vol. 1&2. Vol 1 is probably the best book out there for NL cash games as well, even though it's not written for them. You could also check out PL/NL Poker by Ciaffone and Reuben.
For Omaha H/L, There's Ciaffone's omaha book, and Zee/Sklansky/Malmuth SplitFAP.
To round that out with some good general reading, I suggest Improve Your Poker (Ciaffone) and Gambling Theory and Other Topics (Malmuth).
Make sure you understand what pokertracker numbers mean and find out if any of your stats are particularly ugly. If so, work on correcting the error the stat suggests is hampering you.
If you can, get a player you respect to look over your shoulder for an hour and share their thoughts with you.
Don't be in a hurry to play a bunch of tables at once. It may help you eek a bit more profit, but you need to focus on getting better rather than immediate returns at this point in your devlepment. Just make sure you're always paying attention and replaying hands in your mind to see if you should have played them differently.
Good luck.
