Ug, it may be time to move down...

I have been getting beat up in 100/200 mixed games. In the past week I am down 13k in holdem and omaha and 24k in the stud games. Opponents are MUCH tougher at 100/200 than 40/80. Although some are the same the level of play really takes a large jump between these two limits.

Even though I am losing I feel as though I am playing well. Obviously this may not be the case since I am losing, but I like almost every other poker player would like to believe it. :) Anyways I am gonna spend a few more days here and if I drop below 30 or 40k online I will move back down. I would prefer not to move down, but what can you do. Also in this stretch of last week I am down in NLH and PLO which are obviously two games I am a big winner in.

Today I really got crushed in NLH. Basically I took some high variance plays which cost me.

The first two are defn spew. The third is pretty standard.

A nice Stud 8 hand. I actually won 12k today in the stud games which is great.

I think my peal on 4th is pretty thin. Rough river.

Anyways, even though I am down, I think I have improved alot. Just gotta keep going over hands and running good at NLH/PLO and I think I will do fine in these 100/200 mixed games.

Edit: Our blog network sucks. Sorry about the bad formating.

townsend, wouldn't you learn at a faster rate if you played these games individually and not in the format of 8-game? for instance, you would be playing against "stud specialist" or "triple draw" specialist and therefore the competition would be tougher and you would learn more at a faster pace. ?

Am i the only one who thinks getting it in the turn with a double gutter with these stacks is pretty spewy in hand 3 as well?
