Default poker sucks

So I've been at the same limit for what seems like forever (200k hands at 1/2NL) and cant build a roll to move up.

I'm basically playing tight abc (like 18/12 in 6 max), bet when i have fold when i dont. when i start trying to bluff, 2 barrell, or emulate some 2p2 post I lose chunks of money quick.

So two questions...

1- are the moves these people making and posting like one hand out of 1000 hands, or are they doing this like all day (one time out of maybe 100 hands). I mean like some sick bluff or something...

2-do the majority of good players make the majority of their money against total idiots, because when i'm 5 tabling most of the tables are good....so i'm probably the idiot.

OK, if this post makes no sense...sorry..

did you work your way up to 1/2 or just start there? if you did why is your confidence so low at this point.......if you didnt work your way up, move down and get some of this said confidence or work on your game, whichever need be.

Easily the worst advice ever. If you have been stuck at a level for that long, it is time to play for your bankroll. Simply sit NL2500 and nut peddle.
nut peddle = instant level change
