Run Good?/Run Bad?

The first week of October has gone by and I had mixed results. Last post I said I was getting back into cash games and even though I didn't get off to a good start, I was gonna drop down to .25/.50 and build up. Well .25/.50 started off phenomenal. I was owning the people at this level. It was quite ridiculous how bad people were getting it in with and just giving me money. I also tweaked my starting hand selection which seemed to help alot. I wasn't getting myself into the marginal situations I used to find myself in. So after close to 1k hands, I decided to move up. Well .50/1 was a completely different animal. The first thing I noticed was that the players were a bit more aggressive at this level. They also had no problem getting it in with dry gut draws and single pairs for stacks which is just ridiculous. The funny thing is, most of them played worst then the .25/.50 players but FTP kept letting them suckout time and time again. As you can see from the graph, you can probably guess which part of it is the move up to .50/$1. It's as if I was in the middle of a lie detector test and I just told a lie. The swings were just ridiculous. For the non-poker people that may read this and want to make sense of the graph. The yellow/gold line is the amount of money I should've made adjusted for the expected value of when I put my money in and was all-in, while the green line is how much I actually made. In other words, when the yellow line is above the green line, I'm running bad and when its below the green line, I'm running good. So currently, I'm running bad and it has all been at the .50/1 level. It is very frustrating that right when I move up, I can't get a session of running good. I haven't played a ton of hands yet, so I shouldnt let it get to me but I hate losing money when I'm playing good and constantly getting my money in as a favorite. But seeing the graph is a bit comforting to know I'm playing pretty good and just need my luck to turn around.

I was a bit shocked to see I've only played 2200 hands in a week. I'm gonna try and step that up in the upcoming weeks. Of course, playing at my best at all times is the main importance so I'm not gonna force myself to play just to reach a certain amount of hands a week but definitely would like to step up the volume. Well I'm gonna end this with the largest pot I played this week. A straight cooler that didn't go my way and just shows how unfortunate I've been at this level. Shipshape.
