I think it is good you are doing prep work even if it costs a month to do it. In the long run it will save you some time. In the short run it is giving you more card experience. In the long run, you will remember how you used to grind things out before ring games. I still use a combination of both. Freerolls to help my bankroll and it breaks up the monotony of ring games.
