Default Re: hitting a downswing when taking a shot at moving up

I don't set stop limits on my sessions

Neither do I. I set a fixed number of hands to play and then play them.

That's a stop limit. Lets say for arguments sake that your stop limit is 200 hands. You reach that number and you're up 15BB, two major fish are now sitting directly to your right and you've got two major tight-wads on your left. By your reasoning, you now have to stand up and leave.

I don't start jumping around levels hoping to hit on a winning formula.

Neither do I. I was a winner at every level before I moved up. The only questionable move I made was to absolute's 2/4 6max. The reason I'm moving around levels recently is to try to gain my confidence back. Not to try to hit some 'formula'.

Okay, I'll rephrase it. I don't jump around levels trying to get my confidence back. How is that going to work? Are you hoping to land blindly down at a table at some level and have a winning session? You want to get your confidence back? Drop down and grind out 5000 hands and see how you're going. Hell, drop down two levels. The money isn't the problem, right? It's getting your confidence back to play good poker.
