you sound like me a few months ago.

take the time and learn shorthanded play. It's a lot more fun, and a lot more like poker than full ring.

I'd go ahead and put some hands in at .50/1 until you feel very confident with your preflop and flop game. Find the chart if you need it.

Also, something that helped me a ton was going to Stars and playing in five dollar heads up limit tourneys. Its not expensive to get a lot of heads up hands in this way, and you learn a ton about blind defence and steals. You'll also put in a lot of hands vs various styles, and learn how to exploit each one. I still do this before a session ocasionally, kind of as a warmup.

Once you're comfy, take shots as your bankroll dictates.

good luck!
