Default limits in relation to BR

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I have around $300 in my PP account. For the last 6 months it has been as low as $200 and as high as $350 or $360. I originally bought in for $50 about a year ago.

I play in a bi-weekly home game. We usually play a 50NL tourney and some sort of dealers choice or a holdem $1\$2 game. I am in the money probably 80% of the time.

I play $10L and $30L STT on PP. I play L mostly because I wont get myself "in trouble" or get drawed out on in those "low buyin" NL tourneys. Maybe I should play both?

I consider myself tight agressive (but dont we all)? I have no problem folding 15-20 hands in a row in a tourney, but when I'm in a hand I tend to raise regardles of position. That maybe because i am sticking with premimum hands.

I play some $1\$2 ring games, but it seems like I always get my butt handed too me. I know I am not as tight, and probably too agressive. It's easier to dig to the cashier in a cash game, and obviously impossibe in a tourney.

My question is what games are appropriate for my BR? I am hesitant to play .50\$1 and only $10 tourneys but maybe thats what I should stick with??

Opinions?

Thanks.
Spota

Read SSHE, and play .50/1. Move up to 1/2 when you have the BR (300BB,or $600) and have enough experience at .50/1 (10,000 hands or so)

Thanks for the reply.
I have read several books. Play Poker like the Pros, Super System, Caros book of Tells, Winning Low Limit Holdem. Currently reading Holdem Poker for Advanced Players and Winners Guide to Omaha Poker.

HEPFAP isn't geared towards the games you will find at .50/1. SSHE WILL make you into a winning player at the lower limits, as long as you read, understand and apply the book.
