Okay session. Was up a couple buy-ins, then lost it all to 2nd barrels.
My AKo is definitely a loser for me as of this moment...I just don't like giving up on it. I dunno, any advice?
Anyhow, I've got 25 or so buy-ins for 50NL, but I just can't quite pull the trigger to move up. A few people have said that a 15 BI rule is sufficient enough.
I've decided to take a stab at the beginning of next week (provided I don't go on a massive slide before then).
Some semi-interesting hands this morning:

I suggest you tighten up your 3-betting requirements, or do it from like really profitable zones with a decently strong range.
For example you hold AKo in the small blind. Button raises to 1$, you can 3-bet light to $2.50, or $3.00. Then just make your solid cont bet on the flop it works a little better. I just find it's easier to move those aggro card-runners watching donks off hands when they're attacking too much from position rather than UTG or UTG +1. They'll call down with like a super slim overpair otherwise which means you have to be careful with how you use your 3-bet or it'll be really spewy for ya.
