Default Tell me what to do with $200....

Six months ago, I started running good.
Four months ago, I started running really good.
Two months ago, I started running flat.
One month ago, I started running bad.

It's not the cards. It's me. Simple.

Some of it is expectation - I think I ran unreasonably good for a while and my expectations got out of wack.

Some of it is playing patterns. About when the flat streak started, I began a new job which allowed me to play at work. I'm certain I wasn't playing my best then, and as a consequence may not have been taking it all as seriously as I should have.

I've tried several things - I started playing one table at a time, I moved around in limits (all for which I was adequately bankrolled for) and tried playing some NL or some tournaments.

In any event, I'm looking to break this trend, and I'm asking for advice. I've basically set aside $200 to start over with. And I'm asking everyone where I should begin.

Quite honestly, I don't want to start at .5/1, so, if you don't mind, let's avoid that suggestion. Yes, I know, bankroll considerations and all that, but I'm not really working with a finite bankroll. I can replenish it, I've played my way through .5/1 and 1/2 and 2/4 and 3/6, beating all of them for a time...

...realistically, I'm looking for a goal, something to keep me focused. I intend to stop playing at work, b/c I think it's counterproductive (to my playing, of course, not to work)...

Advice welcome. Let me have it...
