Default Variance: Cursed in the $20/180\'s

Out of 50 I've played I've been busted out with a high pair, AA or KK vs a lower pair or undercards getting it all in preflop a full 20% of the time.
$4 and $10 I do great, roi in these is 100%
Roi in the 20's: -23.45%

Do I keep playing these or give em up for a bit??

I think your sample size is a little too significant.

Yes, ROI over 1000 games is clearly the correct long term figure, and that -23.5% ROI is not a correction to the average, that is just some kind of voodoo curse.
