"...my first thought was to jump to the 400NL ..."

Wrong. You should move up to 5000NL and won it back in 1 hand. Move up to where they respect your raise.

Buy in short and move in with any ace/any pair, rathole if you double up. You are a stone cold lock to win it back doing this if you keep doubling your buyin after each loss, after all, unlike blackjack, poker is a zero sum game!

blackjack is a zero sum game. someone wins the allotted amount of money and someone loses that same allotted amount of money, thus a zero sum game. now ur expected value may not be zero, but it is still a zero sum game

If you got the bankroll, just keep on pushing until you start catching some hands again. Thats what I did when I was on a 12 buyin downswing, now 10 back up again. Taking a break only makes things worse because when you start playing again and the cold deck is still there, it'll just make you feel worse IMO. Keep on playing like before if you can still play your a-game.

I'm glad somebody is giving good advice in this thread. But remember, 20 bb, any ace, any pair.
