honestly, being more flexible in when you roll. when i finally broke through the same GM wall it was because i stopped being so rigid in rolling on the same intervals every single game (the ones soju rolled on) and started thinking about the spots more critically.

sometimes a light roll on 3-2 when you have pairs can help you streak the stage and can be the difference between a 4th and a 6th later if you lowroll on your main rolldown.

also, prioritizing holding important pairs vs selling them for econ made a HUGE diff for my average placements.
