Beginners Winners Circle

Ok, so after cashing out $200 on saturday, I had to cash out $130 again yesterday. This brought my roll down to $130. Really sucks, but I had to, you know. Started today pretty sucky.. hit some harder tables, ran into KK vs AA, my "tilt situation" which indeed tilted me for a while (goodbye couple of buy-ins), but after these first 500 rough hands, it picked up over the next 500:

So the roll is moving up again, $212 now. Strange thing is though, I don't feel satisfied anymore. Not compared to the previous good run, where I was all happy about it. Hitting those harder tables earlier made me realize I actually suck at poker. You don't learn to play poker at 10NL. In fact, you unlearn it more than anything! When I run into aggressive players - rare at the lower limits ofcourse - it's suddenly a ton harder for me. That's why I suddenly just wanted to move up to 50NL asap. Ofcourse, not without the roll for it ($1k). I probably won't have to cash out for a couple weeks, so that's atleast comforting. But it's such a long way to go still.. sigh.. (I also read some of bdawg's posts in the shorthanded forum and they made me feel like I suck even more, for some reason)
