17,800 hands/ -$142 profit/ 4,824 FPP's

I have been defeated. So far 60,000 hands of nl25 and I am a loser. Running at -.2/100 no matter what I do I seem to be losing at nl25. I guess 60k hands isn't a big sample but I would like to think that at least I would be running in the positive rather than the negative. Near the end of the week I really worked on getting my pfr% up and loosened up a little in the calling area. I was also experimenting with running my stats up to around 35/25 ish which seemed to get me a lot more action when I did have a big hand. Which is a change from my super nit status. Halfway through this month I am actually half way to platinum star status. And I think that I could make it by the end of the month. But at this point I don't know whether or not I will continue playing at nl25. My plan at the beginning of the month was to play until I lost 20 buy-in's. But after losing session after losing session at nl25 I got a little down on myself. Almost to the point where maybe I had not played enough working on my game before I made the jump. Also I jumped directly from nl5 which has 200bb stacks to nl25 which is a 100bb stack but for 2 1/2 times the buy in. I mainly made this jump as I was having a little trouble at nl10. I know it sounds a little silly jumping a limit. I played a little there but the general consensus is and was that level was a luck shoot. The only difference was the change from 200 to 100 big blind stacks. I am not sure if this was what was giving me trouble or not or what. I am pretty sure I was not playing to many hands as one of my problems that I am trying to fix is opening up my range vs trying to nit everyone to death. It didn't help that I was constantly on the wrong end of the cooler for the week. And the short stacks were killing me. I think I am 3/60 on coin flips this week with them. Almost to the point that I began tilting. Had to cut a few sessions short. It just seems so strange that I could be beating nl5 for 8/100 over 300K hands only to move up and be running -.2/100. I don't like to blame things on variance vs myself just making bad plays and bad decisions.

So now I need to make a decision. Continue to play perhaps the rest of the month at nl25 or until I lose another 14.3 buy-in's. Or move back down to nl5 or nl10. Or maybe even play some 6 max to help push my aggressiveness a little. Either way I think there is something wrong with my play that I can not just move to nl25 and at least be able to win 1/100bb's. I know my stats are still not ideal but stats are not the only thing that makes a winning player. Or I could just drop back now and log in some solid winnings sessions to boost my confidence. I mean as I am writing this I am only 300 hands in a nl5 session and am running 80/100. I just don't like logging in losing sessions if there is a problem with my game other than variance. I guess I will just have to finish the rest of the month out to know for sure. Also the amount of hands I have been able to log in has been decreasing due to the extra hours at work. No doubt this will be cut in quarter once the baby gets here.
