thats one of the most sensible posts ive ever read.You must always play to a level where your holding your own or even winning a few quid and it sounds to me as your doing just that. having said that you must bare in mind the levels you are playing are full of the worst card players in the world and if there allowed to they will draw every time.i dont play the ring games as a rule as i can never seem to get a table with some decient card players on it,so i stick to the $3 or $5 tournys, (got a 5th on last nights $3 multi table)and if your carefull, you can more often than not make it to the money.
As for live games in our area,they are as rare as rocking horse shit.The nearest casino is the grovesnor at southampton, they hold regular tourneys and advertise them on poker in europe.
