Default Need bankroll/tourney selection advice

Hi, I've been playing poker online for the past 10 months and have won ~$2100 (~850 games) playing mostly 6.50 turbo SNGs at first and I've thrown in the 12/180 and the 12/45 lately (on Stars). After a few cashouts/transfers, my current online br is 800$. I probably play an average of 1-1.5hours a day.

I was wondering if there is a generally unanimous ideal proportion of tourneys one should play in with this type of bankroll... Should I stop the 6.50/18 and 6.50/45 entirely and move up to $12 and $16 tourneys only? Is the quality of play much superior at those levels or essentially the same?
OR... Is this all individual dependant and I should just play in the tourneys I enjoy the most?
thanks

if you only play 1-2 hours a day tournies might not be the best idea...

the 12/180 is a turbo on stars and takes an hour and a half from start to finish. The others take even less time...

I've dabbled a bit in cash games but I find tourneys to be funner, but thats probably just an impression. Maybe I should start throwing in some cash games, whats the recommended br for a given cash game? 150 buy-ins?

20+ buyins (NL) and 500BB's (Limit) take note that these are just guidelines, and many people feel more comfortable playing with more.

You played ~125 hours over the 10 months and made ~7$/hour.
Since ur broll is only 800, I'd continue what ur doing.

You should be commended on ur restraint and moderation. You are not an addict or a degenerate gambler.
