I just recently moved up to 50nl after playing 25 nl for a good amount of time and beating it at 12ptbb/100 and now that ive moved up I'm break even after playing 4,500 hands sometimes its been one night i go down 100 then start to play the next night and go down another 100 then even it all out on a 200 hundred run. or the really bad times when I get up 50 to 100 and then getting a hand cracked losing a buy in tilting losing 30 $ more deciding i can't play like this and quitting.
I think that my problem may be that i just don't have enough gamble in me because i let a buyin at 50nl affect me way to much (especially because i'm rolled for 100nl) but i've been stacked way more then i have stacked other people and only seem to stack shortys,
the only way i seem to make money is by picking up lots of small pots and bluffing sets. whats your guyses advice

We can't determine if you suck without HHs. Varience is a bitch.
Even if you're rolled for 100nl financially, you're not rolled for 50nl mentally (judging on your post). You won't be playing your best game until you feel comfortable.

Agreed, Tell us how you played the hands where you got stacked and we may be able to help. Also, you maybe either playing your good hands too strong (pushing out noobs with crap draws that love to chase) or too weakly (not convincing the noobs that your huge all in just has to be a bluff) overall its hard to tell w/o HH.

This is why bankroll management is so critical as you should play the 50NL game just like you would the 25NL game. Try comparing a few of your 25NL sessions to a few of your 50NL sessions to determine if you are playing differently. If you are then you need to move down until your BR gets higher or until, as Mr. Leg put it, you are mentally ready to play at the 50NL level
