Well, I tried to move up limit to 2/4 NL (played three tables 2/4 NL, one 1/2 NL) and got crushed - meaning that I lost a little over $5000 in four days. That's pretty big when you try to move up limit and try to get some confidence in the new level as well. Looking at it objectively, about 2/5 of those losses were as a result of bad play. I believe that over half of the losses were mostly because of hands I couldn't have escaped and a run of bad cards. Oh well, it happens.

Then I came back to 1/2 NL and since then I've climbed out of that hole playing one 2/4 NL and three 1/2 NL.

That's the biggest downswing so far, but sure there's plenty to come. I've got some kind of poker motto like "everyone knows how to win, but the really good players are those who know how to lose". I feel like when you keep that in mind, you can't do all that bad.
