I can't beat Party 100nl, SCKM (with stats and graphs)

[RedJoker]

So I transfered my $1K bankroll to party poker near the end of June. I started out at $50nl and was running really well, about 5K hands later and I'm rolled for $100nl. I move up and after an initial 3 buy-in downswing I find my feet and take off again.





Yes they're PTBB/100, lol samplesizeaments.

Then all of a sudden BOOM, two 3 buy-in losing days in a row, I take a break for a couple days, buy cardrunners and start running breakeven for the next couple days. Then it happens again, another big downswing and I'm down about 11 buy-ins. I play through and get back about 6 of them and start to feel good again. Then I have another few losing days and today I dropped another 6 buy-ins in under 500 hands.





I'm getting coolered a lot but obv I know I'm not playing anywhere near my best anymore, making crying calls, etc. Some hand histories from today (yes I played some of these badly obv):

Beat: Can't beat party 100nl
Brag: It's my birthday tomorrow, 21 WOOOT
Variance: Moving back down to 50nl.

[skillgambler]

move up to NL200. it's way easier and you can win it all back!

That was obviously my first thought, but I don't want to take the easy way out.

[skillgambler]

yes and it was my mistake anyways. you're easily rolled for shortstacking 15/30

I actually think nl200 really is easier than nl100 on pp.

According to my first 5K hands at each, 100nl is easier then 50nl, only marginally though. Really makes you think.

i was hoping to find some worse play there. i lose a bit less on a couple of those, but it looks like some standard doomswitchery. maybe you just left out the ones you played bad.
