From observation and experience, the vast majority of players play too many tables at small stakes in an effort to grind VPPs which is detrimental to actually getting better and doesn't result in substantially more profit.

Its better to just focus on moving up (few tables, more review/study, better table selection) and then increasing your volume once you've reached a level where more VPPs = serious money - assuming you'd rather make more money in the long run and have a better chance at surviving whatever storms poker will throw at us. Example, moving down from say, 5/10 to 2/4 won't cut your career. Moving down from .5/1 to anything will.

I highly doubt the average .5/1 grinder who plays ~20 tables can afford to take 2 months off to revamp their game. The average MSNL player probably takes a month every so often to cut volume substantially to revamp their game, and probably is able to go on a vacation on top of it.
