Message: [QUOTE="BenjiHustle, post: 2418565, member: 110225"] I don't see how mixing 25 and 10nl is a far step from moving down to just playing 10nl. Is a few months extra grind a lot to you now that you have your sweet job and such? What's the end goal that you've got in mind for grinding online? Of course a winning player on a downswing is still a winning player. Until proven otherwise (by moving into the red for your career and then quitting while still in the red), you're a winning player. A 20-game hitless streak doesn't make Derek Jeter a scrub, just like a quarter of a year downswing doesn't make you a scrub. Logical fallacies are running amuck. And no, I don't believe that moving down makes you play worse. I've been all the way up and all the way down and it's truly just a matter of ego; mind over matter. It relates back to the question about your end goal, really. If you're in a hurry and have a lot of money to make, I can see impatience being warranted, but without those circumstances, it really doesn't matter, does it? Sticking with baseball references, saying that moving down stakes ruins your game would be like a Major League Baseball player saying that being moved down to the minors is going to ruin his game. Trevor Cahill's full majors-to-minors-to-majors story is a perfect example. You can read more at the website listed in the quote if you're in need of some inspiration or belief that you can step back, improve with less pressure and a clear mind, and come back to where you were. Keep in mind that this man wasn't given a choice and was forced to step down which he could have used as an excuse (the game's different, easier, definitely don't need to utilize as many tricks and mental games). A 10bb/100h winrate at 10nl is just as good as (or better than) a 4bb/100h winrate at 25nl. So, I guess the only question is whether or not you believe you can achieve that winrate at 10nl because that really is the only difference; aside from being easier and having less at risk at one time.
