It really feels good to start winning money on NL50... The first 15.000 hands were really depressing.

Now - could somebody please tell me to stop tilting after losing 100 dollar pots?

Good on ya man. My graph looked like that and I grinded all the way back. It was painful and got smacked down numerous times. I know how it feels so WELL DONE. Keep it up.

Jesus man, thanks for posting and respect for turning that graph around. I have a couple questions for you if you feel like answering:
At what point would you have considered dropping down a level?
Were you a successful 25NL player?
What was your biggest adjustment for this level? What did it end up taking to turn things around?
Thanks.

i was always afraid of stepping up to NL50 because its so much money that you can lose at once. So i played NL25 for quite a long time.
When i stepped up, i had over 40 buyins for NL50. I was successfully beating NL25, so there was no real need to drop down a limit. after losing 12 buyins on NL50, i still had 30 buyins left.
In another thread, somebody wrote "My guess is you need to start learning to play poker now if you're gonna play NL50". Well - i continued playing and learned.

* pre/postflop aggression
* paying attention to position

* i moved from fullring to shorthanded
* became more aggressive preflop (yes, you can raise KQ)
* became more aggressive postflop (the villains really folded to my contibets)
* 3-betting of villain doesnt always mean AA/KK

I just moved up to NL50 and after 1500 hands I'm about the same point as you were (approx 4 buy-ins down).
It is very encouraging to see that you've turned it around and learnt more about the game. The is exactly the kind of post that I needed to see right now.

The amount on non-variance in that graph is absolutely insane. Here's mine for the last few months, including an 8 buy in downswing in march.
