You are probably game selecting more than you should be. Of course you should try to change tables if they're completely awful, but when you're playing micros, you're #1 goal should be improving, instead of maximizing your winrate. You'll learn nothing if you're just going after the 60/5 fish.

This is just my personal opinion, but I never understood why people game select so much at the micros... It's not like you're ever gonna make any significant money grinding NL25 or such, and moving up also feels great (and you'll probably be able to move up faster if you game select less).

I kind of fell into the same trap myself when I was playing micros. I was 9-12 tabling, because I got the best hourly winrate doing that. Now when I look back, I'd say that I probably could have moved up to smallstakes at least a few months earlier, if I would've 4-6 tabled instead and had focused on trying to learn the game.

I have to admit that I do some game selecting myself at HU, but I try to 2-table some weaker regs every now and then, even if I don't think I have any notable edge against them. Playing against competent players (or at least not complete droolers) is way more rewarding and you'll also learn much faster.
