I usually play when there are a lot of players online, but when Party does die down (<$20,000) you would sense a "tightening" up by the other players. It depends how you like to play ... loose or tight.
You seem like you're a very aggressive player ... are you maybe taking too many chances when the time isn't right? Find yourself bluffing too much? (Which is never advisable in low limits anyway.) I would definitely suggest a tight-aggressive strategy. I think it's the easiest way to make the most money. No need to make too many moves.
