I've been playing at UB for a month now.I started from 25$ and been running hot the first two weeks.Until I had the f**kin idea to move from 1/2 cents to 5/10...I don't ussually go on tilt, but I lost almost all I made at NL2 in a very short period at NL10.Now I'm back at 25$ . ( and I don't know why the f**k if I click on the "Aww crap!" smiley it doesn't show it!!!!!!!!!!!!) I played 30k hands!!!! "Aww crap!" "Aww crap!" "Aww crap!" "Aww crap!" "Aww crap!" "Aww crap!" "Aww crap!" "Aww crap!" "Aww crap!"

NL10 is very different from NL2, you might want to play at NL2 until you rebuild your bankroll and when you go to a higher stake you should play very tight for a while, until you begin to feel the way opponents are playing at that limit.

Since you've proven sucessfull at NL2, I guess you could go there and be more flexible on bankroll management, it's ussually said you have to have 40-50 buy-ins, well putting myself in your shoes, I would clear my mind, (the time it takes), then pay real attention, don't hurry up and you will recover fast. You could manage 20 buy-ins instead and then move to the standard 40 buy-ins when it gets more dangerous. The sweet about moving up on stakes slow is that you also change your style and way gradually, I'm sure such a change (NL2 to NL10) is a very very different play. The point here is you get the most money from weak players in a different way.

That hurts!
30k hands... Man, that sucks when all that play just gets destroyed on a higher limit. Tilting, that`s why I absolutely avoid Cash games. Those "get chips" buttons are deadly. everything I win i usually lose in Rush Cash when I`m stupid enough to play, thanks to that "get/buy f****n`chips f*****n`" button on the screen. I wish I could delete it, so I have to close the table first if I want more chips to catch up the losses. Don`t think it would help though...
Good Luck with whatever you decide, because I just don`t know what advice to give in this case.

I'm sorry - but I have to LOL at getting owned moving form nl2c to nl10c. Damn nl10c sharks !
Possible just a down swing at nl10? Have you checked EV graphs of show down hands vs actual value?
Anyway, good luck on the grind man. I voted for HU @ nl50 and i actually wasn't joking. nl2c & nl10c is a joke. I'd rather stick $25 on a HU table and just make a deposit if I lose.

Bankroll Management my friend, stop for a week and then try again at microstakes you're comfortable at. Be patient your time will come. We are trying to be poker pros, but we aren't.
It's like a rollercoaster Don't know why but it usually happens to me too. I think only some ( strong, lucky and skilled ) players are able to increase their bankroll

Thank you for the advices... But just for you to know: in order to move up the stakes, with proper bankroll management, I need to make like 200 dolars at NL2, cos they don't have 2/4 c tables, and I'm gonna play for eternity there!!!!!!!! "Aww crap!" ( no seriously there's something wrong with those smileys, I can't insert the anymore "Aww crap!)
I wanted to ask why didnt you move to 2/5c, but you answered it already. Thats quite bad, they dont have it. So I advice you to move your bankroll up a bit on 1/2c and be more flexible in moving up - because you proved that you can do well on 1/2. For example with 50 dollars you can try SSS on 5/10c limit.

ok, your choice, but if you want to keep bankroll management and you dont want to play anything beside of CG, you would spend really lot of time to move up with your bankroll to play 5/10c from 1/2c...
enter a MTT with the last dollars it's obvious you don't care about the last 9 $ ... so you wont be able to play proper cash ... and at MTT everything can happen ... with a bit of luck you might get them back

STOP!
on October 2 you had $25.00 and on october 3 you are at $9.00
STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP. YOU ARE ON MASSIVE TILT.
It happens to us all. Stop or you'll go broke!. Limit you losses to 1 Buy-in per day. Play until you double up and then change table so you are back at maxim buy-in. Do not multi for a time may also help.
