i could use some encouragement

Bad days happen, don't let it affect your play.

I'm assuming you aren't playing NL25 for a living, so as long as you don't need the money you are playing with to get by, I think you should stick it out at NL25. 625 is a solid roll for the stakes, and really, you'll have days where you lose / win far more than 4 buyins (if you keep on playing).

Of course, if you feel negatively affected mentally, just move down - the fact that you even consider this is probably a good thing as lots of people have a hard time moving down (pride etc).

yea im playing NL25 at $525++ keep playing til at least that

go get a job if u need $ u lazy bum

I guess one thing to consider is how much money you started with. If you started with 50 bucks and built it up to what you have now, then playing Nl25 seems fine. If you deposited 800 and you're at 600 now, yeah, moving down would be very smart
