It is time to go back to 100NL, for now.
I played two sessions this morning. The first was 400 hands for +$100. The second was 900 hands for -$400. Although i lost half of that when i flopped a Queen High Flush, and both of my opponents flopped higher flushes  . On the cool side, it was the second biggest pot i have ever been in. Of course, i didn't win the biggest pot i was ever in either  .
Basically my roll is hovering around 3k again, and i don't want to go on a downswing with only 15 buyins.
A lot of the $$$ i lost so far today was because i was a little too paranoid about being bluffed today. Not to mention i was getting 3bet against like crazy, and i just couldn't pick a good spot to play back at it. I am going to need to learn how to play back at 3bets, and i see FTR member DaGOAT posted something regarding that. I hope that topic gets a lot of discussion.
I will post some of the hands where i got 3bet on. I would like some responses on what you would do with the hands (4bet/call/fold).

I feel kind of dumb. I think i was getting straight up pwned at 200NL. Moving up there probably wasn't entirely clever. Luckily, I am only walking away less than 1/2 a buyin down over 3500 hands.
Once i log 20-25k more hands @ 100NL, i should have ~5.5k (will have my RB by then), i will take another shot at this. If at that point i run 10k hands @ 200NL with a less than 2ptBB/100 win rate, i will... Actually i would like some help answering that question too. What should i do if i can't turn a higher profit @ 200NL than 100NL? How long do i have to give it before i give up? (I know 3500 hands is a small sample size, but i have a lot of technical issues i need to hash out with countering the increased aggression at 200NL).
