Well after refocusing on cash games again since 6/1, I'm faced with a bit of a setback.
I was sailing along having moved up to NL$50 after what I thought were decent results at NL$25 (4 PTBBs win rate over 50,000 hands). Then this hand happened and I proceeded to go on full day monkey tilt costing me 8BIs at NL$50.

Flop: 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif ($8.25, 2 players)

Turn: 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif ($74.25, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">BB is all-in $8.75</font>, hero calls.
River: 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif ($91.75, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $91.75)
Results:
Final pot: $91.75

I'm not a rookie anymore as I've been playing on-line for about 2 years now so not sure why I tilt so hard (I know it's a common occurrence as we all struggle to get better and be more disciplined).
So even after losing the 8 BIs at NL$50, I'm still bankrolled for it with a roll of around $1500 on FTP (I have another $500 on stars but I guess I can't count that). So what should I do? Drop back to NL$25? I'd rather not but if I don't should I set a floor of either $1250 or $1000 to move back down if I drop to either of those levels. I've been here before and can't seem to get past NL$25 which sucks! On a positive note, for the month I'm probably going to break even with rakeback (which isssh nice- Caddyshack reference)
What would you do?
Thanks
