Should I move back down to 10NL?

    Default Should I move back down to 10NL?

    Ive been experiencing a downswing at 25NL for my last 5K hands and I am wondering if i should move back down to 10NL. This summer I have played 20K hands at 10NL. My bankroll went from 280 to 550. With a bankroll of 550 I decided to see what I could do at 25 NL. I went on a little rush and in two days I'm at 660. 2 weeks passed and 5K hands later my bankroll dwindled to 415.

    I'm wondering with a bankroll of 415 should I move back to 10NL. I haven't proved my self at 25NL yet, so I don't know if I should stick it out or move down. If you say I should keep playing 25NL, when would it be correct to move back down to 10NL if I keep loosing money. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

    BTW, I am playing 6 max if that changes anything.

    Stay there, move back down when your roll is falls below $300.

    Probly not, but if your not comfortable at 25 nl, yes.

    Are you plaing bad? getting sucked out on? cold decked? you diddnt drop that much, pretty standerd to drop a few BI's here and there.

    Thanks for the advice, im gonna stick to 25NL. I have been getting sucked out on the usual KK vs. JJ preflop ect. I've been not hitting any my hands that have 12+ outs like straight flush draws. I got some sick second best hands, that I have to stack off with. However, probably 1 or 2 buy ins are due to me just overplaying my hand and not keeping the pot small when I should. Im sure most of this is variance, but I can definitely play better.

    If you're comfortable that you're not under rolled then carry on. But make sure. It's really important.
    This is not my signature. I just write this at the bottom of every post.

    I just moved up from NL10 to 25NL a few days ago. It took me a couple of sessions to adjust the betting sizes, down 2 buy-ins but then I started winning. Don't worry, you'll do fine in NL25. You don't need to change the style of play the way you beat NL10. Good luck!

    There are definitely better players on there then 10NL however. Lots of campers, beware.
