25nl PLAYER couldnt beat 50nl so i do 100nl: PROBLEM?

[NiR]

well incase any of you dont know, i am a 8table 25nl player who tried 50nl couple times multitabling, even single tabling but i just COULD NOT BEAT IT. i first tried it for 4 days and lost 700 dollars in it!! 14 buyins!! so i went back to 25nl multi and after making back twice as much, i went back to 50nl and tried it and LOST AGAIN. about 4 buyins. so i decided to quit it forever. and then the day came when i had enough of a br to do 100nl even 200nl. so i decided to give 100nl a try. and after couple days i am liking it. i am winning consistently and havnt had too much of a variance. i am about to start multitabling 100nl very soon. maybe from tomorrow.

has anyone else faced this ussue? a level they couldnt beat so they just skipped it and did well on the next level? specificall 25-100.

I think that your problem is most likely psychological. I've often fallen into the same problem when I move up in limits. I feel that your problem is most likely that you are focusing too much on the money and not enough on the chips. You have to realize that poker is a game of maximizing EV and the levels that you're playing at are irrelevant.

The only way to figure out what went wrong is to examine what sort of hands you lost with.
