NL10 no good

So I've been pretty much crushing NL2 in the past week and had myself up to a little under $200, so I decided I'd take a shot at NL10. Decided to skip 5 because I didn't feel like it added anything last time I was moving through stakes. Anyway, NL10 is an entirely different ballgame from the robot-like 16-tabling that is NL2.

I feel like I'm playing pretty well, but being down 7BIs doesn't really show it. I definitely think NL10 can be real profitable, especially since more than half of my losses have come in huge hands. Examples:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/326820
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/326825 - Note, I don't like the way I played this hand, but this guy turned out to be a real bad player anyway, so I'll put it in this group. I put him on AXcc or a smaller pair like 77-99. It was a bad check on the turn, though.

This guy has a bunch of my money too. He's one of the regulars who is there multi-tabling with me, so I've been trying to treat him like a real player who's capable of realizing my betting patterns and raising my c-bets with air. So far that hasn't been the case:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/326823

I've also made my share of bad plays, so I don't want to shed all of the blame:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/326819 - I've been just 4-bet shoving in situations like this when I have QQ-AA or AK, but I'm not sure if that's the best play. At the very least I don't think QQ should be a shove in this situation, even though I'm OOP. Thoughts?
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/326824 - I'm a bad player. I don't think there's a hand that flats the flop, open-shoves the turn that I'm ahead of.

There's a few more like that, but its the same basic ideas - bad shoves or over-valuing TPTK.

So I've dropped back down to NL2 and continue to run at 20+ PTBB/100. It's like candy from a baby. Except its money. I think I'm just going to spend all of December 16-tabling NL2, or playing until I have 20+ buy-ins for NL10. Hopefully it won't be that long.

eh, mainly just bad beats man, nothing too much wrong with your play. if you count up all the bad beats, theres maybe 100-120 dollar turnaround, and a couple of bad plays is another 40. play is fine imo and just keep pluggin away

Yeah, it started out as a whine post, but as I went through there were more beats than I thought and it became more of a "I can beat this, just not right now" post. Gonna build back to $200 and move back up. Don't really feel comfortable playing with 11 buy-ins.
