Hi bmunge, welcome to FTR, this is Tyson.
Your post has a lot of questions, too much to address here. Basically your asking how do I play and win? LOL!
I'll tackle some of the easy ones, though. You should start by playing a 10 person table. It is simpler. There are greater implied odds, meaning you can win more with a winning hand, simply because there is more money at the table. You can take advantage of more poor players at your table.
With a 4 person table, the blinds are coming around too often, forcing you to play a more aggressive game. This also means playing a more advanced game. Since you are still a beginner, I would recommend sticking with the 10 person tables and practicing there.
Most beginners underplay their strong hands and over play their weak hands. At a 10 person table, you need to bet and raise your strong hands, and fold your weak hands. This is pretty simple direction, but analyze your play and verify that truth.
A 10 person table takes patience and discipline, you should be folding most of your hands. Perhaps this is why you don't like the 10 person table, I'm not sure, but it is good for you to develop the patience required to be a winning player. Jumping to a 4 player table because of the action is not what a beginner should be doing.
Increase your bankroll or lower your stakes.
If you go on tilt, you have to quit playing until you are no longer on tilt. For me, that may take a few minutes or a few days. No matter what, just don't play on tilt.
Hope some of those basics will help. But more than anything, study and practice. Most of your answers are on this website somewhere.
Good luck!
