Just a note, if you want to make it on these forums you need to grow some thick skin. Anyways, I was in the same boat as you. Doing great at .5/1 and 1/2 then stepped up to 2/4 and got crushed. The impact was really more psychological than anything. I was (and still am) new to the game and the beating I was taking at the slightly higher stakes made me question abilities. I went back to 1/2, worked my bankroll back up, and took another shot.

Now I'm at 3/6 and recently took a shot at 5/10 6-max. I lost about 60BB there and decided I needed a bigger bankroll before moving up. The difference this time is I know I can beat the 5/10 game. I'm not questioning my poker abilities like I was when I first took a beating at 2/4. I just understand that 300BB isn't enough for 5/10 6-max.

Of course you also need to objectively look at how you are playing. Get poker tracker, find out what hands you are losing the most on and see if you are misplaying them at all. Post here if you are unsure.
