I'll be brief - down 15 buyins at 1/2nl this month, I have no clue what is going on. I was a 10ptbb/100 winner at 100nl and have been testing 1/2nl since the beginning of August with now quite negative results (was a slight winner throughout August). If you can, please go over these hand histories from this evening (-5 buyins) and provide some advice on my lines. Also, feel free to recommend whether or not I'm a strong enough player to consistently win at 200nl or if I should stick to 100nl. Thanks.

I run at 19/12, so my image is pretty TAG.

I guess I need to explain the above - villain constantly minraised the flop, and his turn bet seemed super weak. I figured my turn c/r could easily represent AQ and push him off anything except AQ/KQ or 66. Obviously he had 66.

#9 - same villain as #8 (29/18/5), about 3 hands later.
