200NL: Sucks!

Hey guys. Although i didnt wanna post any results really, i am going to now.
The reason is very simple: I have lost my 100nl-winnings, that took me 3 weeks of very good play, on 200nl in 7 days. I also started losing on 100nl. I lose every flip, i get coolered all the time, i do play some hands badly, make some calls that might not be very good, etc

So, i thought, maybe i am just too bad. And i filtered my HEM-Reports, and thats what i found:

I have played about 200k of 100nl in the last months, and i won (without rakeback) about 1.5BB/100 over that sample. That amounts to 2500$, which is nice, + RB that means that i can win an easy 2-4k per month playing that. Now 200nl:

Here i played 50k hands over the same period, and lost about 10BB/100. Yeah, thats right. That means i lost 10,000 $ playing 200NL. Am i that bad, i thought?
Well, the regs are the same (on ongame, ipoker, some on fulltilt). On fulltilt and ongame there are enough fish around. So whats different? The money?
Since i started playing on FT i think i played really well. So then i found out that im running 25 stacks below EV. 25 STACKS! Thats 5000 $, or double what i won playing 100nl. Yeah, now i know why i dont like playing 200nl. So im again at that point, where a single losing session is gonna cripple my BR that much, that i cant play 200nl anymore. Great. I have no idea what im gonna do. I could make an easy 4k on 200nl, if i just got to the point where i dont have to move down all the time cause i dont have enough money. But i also dont want to wait for my BR to reach 20k before i start taking shots (thats riddic). Oh man.

Edit: Some people go up in stakes when theyre losing. Some play looser. I play more tables. So, what im gonna do from now: When the last session was a winning session, i will play 6-10 tbls in the next one. After i have lost 2 BIs at any point I am going to play 6 tbls max, same goes for having lost the last session. Hope thats gonna help.  

I'm gonna open up 12 tbls now and keep the best 6. Wish me luck!

Later: I played 7 tbls max, tableselected for the first time in my entire life, and am up 540 $ and played very well. Erm. Yeah. OK. Hope that continues.

I recently had a big downswing at 200nl as well. I am still rolled for 200nl, but I decided I am going to play 50k hands at 100nl. I recommend it, it is surprising how much the money stress might come in, you out level yourself, decisions seem easier etc. Even if its only for 10k hands or you sayI will win X buyins at 100 or 50 before playing higher
