Default Reluctant/having trouble moving up levels

I have played over 1000 SnGs at the $10. I have been dominating the competition and have a ROI of well over 40%. I've been playing for over 2 years online now.

I was recently inspired to try to move up to $20 SnGs to try and work my way up, but after 30 games at $20, my ROI is -30%.

Its frustrating that I can't even be a winning player at this next level. The only choices I have are to dominate, or to struggle to break even. I wish there was a $15 SnG level so that the jump in stakes wouldn't be as drastic as doubling my buy ins everytime.

Another thing keeping me at the $10 level is that I am too attached to winning and dominating, I'm almost afraid to lose that consistent money of playing at $10 and making a few hundred a week. When I play at $20, I give up dominating, and I give up a steady flow of money. I know that if I can learn and dominate $20, then I will only make more money per week, but I can't seem to get to that point.

Can anyone offer any advice, or relate to this stumbling block that I'm going thru?

This is pretty impressive. Over 40% ROI?

Thanks man. I'm proud of that, but to keep it in perspective, I know alot of other guys could probably do that too at $10 SnGs if they dropped down from their higher levels.

Having over 20% ROI at $20 SnGs is just as profitable right?

I don't mean to bust your chops, but you have your s/n up in another one of your threads. You're (ahem) quite a ways off from a 40% ROI according to Sharkscope... and that's with a 3,200+ sample size.

If you were to make an honest evaluation of your play based your actual results, your best course of action will be obvious.

I think you have your info mistaken. I'm a 40% ROI player.

Actually, you are. My mistake, I was looking at the wrong player. I'll go back to being impressed now. 38% is pretty sharp even for 10s.

Yes, please don't waste threads - there are only so many available and it increases greenhouse gas emissions.

You don't have to change levels all at once. Start by playing perhaps 70% at your old level and 30% at the new level. Gradually begin to move to the bigger level as the earnings justify it.

why can't you just post one thread instead of spamming with the exact same content / different title?
