Hi gang,

I visit this forum on a daily basis trying to read as many posts as possible to improve my game. Reading the posts here has really helped me geat better and improve rather quickly, and I would like to thank you all for that.

Before I start I just want to let everyone one know that this is not a post crying about bad beats and variance. So I moved up from NL50 to NL100 in March of 07 and playing part time I was able to build a roll for NL200 in a short amount of time. So I continued to play NL100 because I wanted to crush it before I moved up to NL200. Well, In July I had a huge downswing and lost about 12 buyins playing. I reviewed ALL my hands and realized that about 4 of them were because of bad play but the rest were just tough situations ( -4buyins all in preflop with KK vs AA yada yada yada). The trend has continued in August and I've gotten to the point where I have lost total confidence. I've even gone as far as moving back down to NL50 and I can't win at it.

Any advice on what I should do to regain my confidence and grow my roll again?

Thanks for the help,

Val
