crushing and getting crushed

So, after the WSOP, I was super confident about my game. I decided it was time to move up in stakes. I had been playing 5/10 shorthanded limit holdem sucessfully. I moved on up to 10/20 SH LHE.

And. Got. Crushed.

Basically, everything bad thing that could have happened did. My big pairs weren't holding up (to runner runner straights, etc) My draws never got there. Everyone elses draws got there WAY too often. And everyone was super agressive (usually I am one of the most agressive guys at the table). I like playing with super agressive players normally, but when everybody is highly agressive, it's an adjustment. I don't think I adjusted as well as I could have. I found myself calling down players with middle pair and losing.

After two days of getting creamed (-2600), I decided to drop back down. I think I ran really badly, and played a little weak too.

Dropping back down to 5/10 has been great though. I am killing the tables. PT tells me that in the last 15 hours i've played 5/10 (which is a VERY small sample size, but how much 5/10 I've played since I got back from the wsop) I'm winning 6.54 BB/100 hands. which is a fuckload. (That translates to 132.9 marracas per hour in real cash).

I know I can't keep running this good at 5/10, but man, it sure is nice to ride the wave a bit. I plan on playing 5/10 for a while longer, and then taking another shot at 10/20 when I've built the BR up a bit more.

Whenever I read poker blogs, there seems to be a superstition that if you write about how good you are doing, then you immediately go into a losing streak. Luckily, I don't believe in superstitions. (That sentence, taken by itself, is almost funny.)

Oh, and the players are abjectly awful.

So I got that going for me.
