I cant beat $2 sngs / play money sngs (after 1000sngs)

[AlphaWice]

no i dont wanna quit poker.. i wanna learn and be good.

i am good at learning

--

i read alot of guides and understand FE and gigas block theory and stuff like that, i am also good enough to understand you dont need fancy plays to play low limit sngs.

i think my problem is near bubble: .. if i am <= 4BB I push alot, even with 4 people left.. is this a good strategy?

--

edit; reason i played lots of playmoney sngs is to try to be confident at $2, but i lost confidence after i lost those too

Absolutely, but maybe not at the play money tables. When I push at the 22s, I get called by crap like J4 all the time. I can't imagine the calling standards at the play money tables. If you're at a table where you have no fold equity on your pushes, you just have to wait for a good hand.
