Default Step down to lower buyin?

So I started off my STT career playing $11s on party. I played about 650 at 4% ROI, but had to cash most of my money out to cover a speeding ticket. I didn't feel comfortable playing the $11s with the bankroll I had, so I moved to stars to play the $6.50 turbo's.

After 338 $6.50's at 18.3% ROI, I felt that I had built my roll up enough to move up to the $16s. Since then, however, it's been tough goings... I've played 127 $16s and am down $68 since I moved up. It seems that I'm having a lot of difficulty beating these things, and I notice there are a lot of people 6tabling or more (I guess because the rake is so good?).

Do you guys think I should move back to the $6.50s? Or just chalk it up to variance and keep grinding?

Chalk it up to sucking and move up to feed the sharks.

Maybe the 16s are a game that can be beaten, maybe that is so, but you know you can beat the 10's over at the chesterfield and the $5+1 golf pros game.

Hey Rushdown, dont listen to these guys. Things can get pretty out of hand in BBV sometimes, and no one likes to give serious advice when people really need it.

As far as your question, think about it like this: How are you going to win back your losses by moving DOWN!? Do you realize how long that would take? Even staying at your current limit is iffy. Kick it up a notch, I say. Move up and win back your losses.
