Implementing SSHE Strategies

[Rasputin]

Okay, I've just read--and reread parts of--Small Stakes Holdem. I'm trying to implement the strategies contained therein and began doing so in micro game last night. It didn't go so well mostly due to three hands methinks. One I was just stupid and overplayed my queens on a bad flop horribly. The other two I had AA and QQ and lost to two rag pair...just bad luck.

The problem is that I found myself just itching to play more hands...not an uncommon problem I would imagine.

For those who have dealt with it, what's the best way to combat this problem? Do you play two tables so you get more decent hands? Do you play something higher than the micros so you're playing with "real" money so you can take the game more seriously?

I think I'm going to try two tables tonight but I was wondering what others have had success with.
