Completely have rethought my ideas that I had recently. Grinding 180man non turbo sngs is really tough. And I feel it is not worth the time and effort. I am not really learning anything from it. Don't get me wrong, when you reach the final 30 the style of play I really feel comfortable at and can exploit well.
Playing at a FT with huge chipstacks relative to the blinds, I seem to play pretty good and it is really enjoyable. Alot of players play super bad. But I am not really improving as a player, as alot of the FT play, comes down to Pre flop play, and stealing lots of pots. You do not actually learn about how to read hands and play good solid poker post flop. You essentially play fit or fold poker. Its great for learning pre flop edges and 3bet ranges etc. But really, when you get to a higher level of play, everyone else knows this, and it is less easy to exploit, and you must rely on alot of post flop play. This is my weakness.
Time wise playing these games are far to time consuming, and I really am not sure if I am capable of keeping up with it when I return to work next week. I have not cashed exceptionally well. I do not think it is actually because of "bad luck", but I think I just get bored grinding them all day and not getting far. And I am making bad decisions.
This leads me to a few things.
As I said in previous blogs I suck at cash games. I cheated my way to NL50 by cashing in a good MTT, and thought I could actually play at that level. After a decent start I thought I was on track to crush and move up to NL100. I fooled myself and my world came crashing down as I spewed and spewed. Long term looser at NL25 and NL50, I cannot kid myself. Something is fundamentally wrong with my approach to the game.
I watched some videos today, that basically blew my mind. My whole perspective has completely changed, and something inside me has said, "thats enough bullshit matt, time to be honest with yourself". I am starting from scratch. I am grinding 4-6 table at NL10 for the near future, and I am not moving up untill I am beating this limit over a large hand sample (at least 100k hands).
I have so many things to work on, and I am looking forward to learning this game all over again. I will post my 2010 goals here soon.
Thanks for reading.

NL10, 4 tables don't move up until you reach stable 4bb/100 /you make 20BI.
You are a great SNG and MTT player, there is absolutely no reason for you to take shots at cash limits that you don't beat.
