Default Re: Lost a lot playing higher limits online, can someone help me

You are targetting an hourly rate that is not in keeping with either your bankroll or your comfort zone. When you went up in stakes you got beaten up by a "lucky" player who apparently took you into the turn and river a few too many times. Cranking it up from a 1-2$ game to $20-40 is a strange range to play, and in online poker it is possible to hit a mid-to-high limit game that plays just like the $3-6 holdem games at live casinos. If they smell you are nervously chasing hands, you will be bet out of the game. Play the lower limits and play in the "five players max" games until you have the cash and the ability to go upstairs. You'll enjoy it more.
