BAD RUN...................... NEED ADVICE PLEASE!!

Hey, I have been playing online poker for 2 years. It took me 1 year of learning till I started making money. This year from 1/2007 till now I have made 36K profit. I was grinding 1-2NL then 2-4 and then 3-6. I was crushing the tables considering I only play 2-3 days a week usually 2-3 tables. I jump on 5-10NL here and there and had some good results so I decided to move up. Right now I am getting slaughtered. Not from bad play I assure you cause i've been through some tough times on other levels. Its because my beats are top pair vs my set and the player back doored a boat... That happened a few times not to mention all those times I put it all in with AA and lost to 88, KK, AK, etc, from a combination of back door straights, sets, etc. I was 90+ percent favorite all those hands. This has been a tough 2 weeks. All in all I lost 7K from my bankroll. When I started playing on 5-10NL I had 26K in my bankroll cause I spend some money. Now I have 19K and I am scared, sad, and don't know what to do.

Some of you players that are at my level or better and have over come similar experience, please give me some advice. Should I continue 5-10, move down?

well at some levels you were crushing, and you moved up and now you're getting killed. maybe, just MAYBE, you should move back down to where you were winning.

Also its so hard to move down... I really want to play through this on 5-10 but I don't know if 19 buy-ins are enough to survive the storm.

you are not as good as you think you are. Go back to lower limits.

Gee... so many corney replys. Thanks for those who actually tried to help.

If you're having trouble moving down when necessary you should just go ahead and quit before you end up sucking someone's [censored] for $10.

(p.s. PM if interested)
