I think the second part of this statement may be the key for you (and me). My PT probably looks a lot like yours. I beat the crap out of NL10 up to a BR of 500 with little problem. 18BB/100. I must have ran well over that because I'm not that good. However, after about 12K hands at NL 25, I'm only up 2 buy-ins. My stats are reasonably similar to what they were before, 18/6. I have tightened up as the games have, but mostly it's aggression. At NL25 passive play is punished much more. There are lots of players who are just looking for NITs like us to pound. Waiting for me to CBet to come over the top when I have two overs. Probably Renton, teaching his roomy to play. For me, I'm tightening up the small things, like not pounding everyone out of the pot when I want some action. I agree with Renton that you don't need to go pot. I win too many small pots.

That said, mostly I think its aggression. More specifically, earlier aggression. 3 bet more Preflop. Check raise more on the flop. Raise the flop more against the right opponent. I've been able to be fairly robotic or lazy at NL10. Playing the cards and not the larger game and players. I don't think that works anymore at NL25 and definitely won't at anywhere I want to be later.
