Help me out of this rut.

[ashmc2]

To start, I’d like to say I’m new to the forum. This is my inaugural post and would appreciate any and all advice.

I am in a rut and I can’t seem to get out.

I’ll explain my dilemma, but first, a little background history.

I started playing about 2 1/2 years ago. I started in free $ at True poker for 6 months or so. And like most starting out, I played everything down to Jx suited and every 3 spaced suited connecter. Then, my first poker epiphany; there was something called strategy. lol. I read Hellmuth’s book and found Ultimate Bet and get this, a tighter No limit game. I started on UB in free $ and stayed there until I got sick of listening to the little run-mouths that get on at 3:30pm. You know to whom I refer to. The 13 year olds that just got home from school and are getting a good jumpstart at a chair at gambler’s anonymous. I talked the ol’ lady into $25 bucks. I made it about 4 months on the .01/.02 tables. I bought back on for another $25. I made it only a month. I took 6 months off. I dropped a fifty into my depleted account. Slowly I dwindled this bankroll down to $9 and decided I needed a new angle. I started a poker journal and started tracking what I lost on and what I won with. I made it back up to $30. I started reading everything I could get my greedy little hands on. I began to grow as a player. I got $50 and started playing 3 tables at a time. Went up to the .05/.10 tables at $100. At $150 I moved up to the .10/.25 stakes. I’ve been at the $180 - $210 range for over 3 months now. I live there. Back and forth. It’s driving me batty. I’ve been as high as $225 for a few days, and no lower than $182. which sadly is where I’m currently at.
I read every strategy article I can find on the Internet. I incorporate some of these into my game to help me become a more rounded player. Yet I seem to be at a poker standstill. It almost seems the more info I digest the worse I get. I am a semi-tight/aggressive player.

I know this quite vague and very general. But if anyone has any suggestions, drop them on me.
PS. My cash games are going real well. It’s just a weird online rut.
