Now what?

I can accumulate chips slow and steady, and that seems to keep me afloat. But it doesn’t seem like ‘poker’. Is that the game? Take down a few small pots here and there, ride the rushes, try not to lose too much when the deck is cold. Is it all just efficiency at this point? Getting a few extra bucks on marginal hands. Getting away from second best hands faster. What should I look for now?

I think you might benefit from jumping formats a little. I know I have. 25 NL rings can still be your thing, but I've found that my game improves every time i have to adapt to new settings, e.g. the party 800 chip SNG ick.

It'll also liven things up for your mind, so it doesn't seem like treading water. You should consantly be experimenting with your play, new ideas etc.
