This is a general moan rather than a request for help.

A few months ago I went to NL 0.05/0.10 Euro tables. I know its isn't much of a jump from the 0.01/0.02 Euro tables but hey I am just a beginner. Over the last year on the lowest tables I never had a loosing month and my bankroll went from £50 to £150 which was a slow process but I was happy.

As soon as I started on the 0.05/0.10 tables I started doing well and then lost a couple of AA and KK all-in's - After than I started to be very cautious and at the end of the month I was down £25.

I am quite disciplined and went back onto the lower tables to rebuild my bankroll....Unfortunately I have not had a winning month since. I am getting pushed off hands when I am winning and going all the way with the 2nd best hand....I am zigging when I should zag essentially.

I re-read Harrington 6 handed NL this week and feel a lot better, yesterday I played for 3 hours and made one/two stupid mistake by overvaluing my KK on the river and then again calling a AI river bet with TPTK against a really loose player who had two pair (my fault for over inflating the pot on the turn, when he hit his second pair).

So, feeling positive again now and although I am still loosing. My decisions are better and I have even started playing the 0.05/0.10 tables again and seem to be surviving a little better.

Hey.

The short answer is: that's poker, there is variance involved and you are not getting immediately rewarded, so you can play good and lose and you can play bad and win. This can demotivate some people, because of our human nature where we expect to see positive results right away. You should always be looking at the longterm, work on your game all the time, study and just be sure that you are making good decisions. You are lucky that you are here, because we help people like you by providing the best possible content, coachings and advice.

I can recommend you two video pieces (available for Gold+) by our coach LuckyLukePS who specializes in MTTs but is also very experienced if it comes to psychology:
- Attitude Adjustment
- Existential Leakbusting: Why did I do that?

Good luck!
