PLHE vs NLHE: Pokerstars <$50

I keep winding up at PLHE tables on Stars...

Has anyone noticed a significant difference in their win rates between PL and NL? At $50 BI and below? My NL is WAY better but I only have a couple hundred hands...

HELP!?

Trying to figure out if it makes much difference or should I just stick w/ NL.

I don't like PL because you never have the option to shove when you have the best of it and think there is a good chance you'll get a call. Situations where you have 44 flop QQ4 2 hearts and maybe you get an AQ or flush draw hit on the turn that you can stack. Those are the money makers.

For the most part the play should be similar, maybe you get more chasers at pl than nl. But you can do a pretty standard 3bb raise and 3bet to 9bb if someone else raises. You cant 4bet shove so there is some lost fold equity. I think shoving when you have a full house on a draw heavy board is not a good reason to stay away from pl, honestly shoving with a fullhouse with potential draws seems awful and you should be soaking people for value not forcing draws to fold when they may have otherwise called.
