What are your goals? If you want to learn how to play poker better, then learn to play with a full buy-in.

losing 20 min buy-ins with your strategy still like a big variance, same as making 40. I agree try buy in full and beat the game would be a good starting point because everyone who read this board could beat 25NL in no time.

I'll repeat it: learn how to play poker and stop being a sand fly.
