I try to stick to the Huntsville games ($3.30), but get tilty when I lose and try to take shots at higher buy-ins (and usually lose). Anyone else struggle with this? Anyway, if anyone is playing these stakes and wants to talk strat/hand histories let me know.
Thanks,

Hey, Joe! Welcome to 2+2, and to the always-interesting world known as Global Poker.
150 sngs is definitely not a large enough sample size to determine anything. However, if you're winning after 150 sngs, you have a much better chance of being a winning player than someone who is losing after that many games.
I'd say around 1,000 games, you'll have somewhat of an idea of your win rate, though it'll still have probably ~5% of a margin of error. I'm guessing here, but I'm sure someone who knows more than I will give their opinion here.
I used to increase stakes after running bad and tilting. Not anymore. My problem used to be chasing losses in PLO cash. And by PLO cash I mean putting anywhere from 25%-100% of my bankroll on the table at a time. Trust me, getting 1-outered for your whole roll is one of the worst feelings ever. But, I deserved to be taught that tough lesson. Bankroll management is everything, man. Don't let tilt affect your bankroll management. Stay accountable to your money management, and work on quitting when tilted. Even taking breaks and coming back to play a couple of hours later can save huge chunks of your roll from being torched.
Good luck, man! Thanks for introducing yourself, and see you at the tables.
