frustrated

I play 6max
two days ago I moved up from 5nl to 10nl (again) when I had 29 Buy Ins.
the first time since the play was not bad I had a good run of hands and my stats were like the one i posted. (first image)
then the next day its like pokerstars tells me : you dont belong in these limits!
my
bad beats all around: every time someone had a draw on me he got there.
some fish beat my JJ with his J7s all in (the reason for the all in was becuse I had a read)

im just so frustrated . I know I can play these limits but it just doesnt make sense to me how I run so good on 5nl and the minute i move up to 10nl i lose money . with bad beats .

is it possible pokerstars is rigged ?

How many hands are the two samples over?

6-max is very swingy, and small sample sizes of hands are basically meaningless. Your best bet is to ignore your stats until you have at least several thousand hands logged, and until then just note interesting/tricky hands and review them and/or post them in the hand analysis forums here for people to look at. The trouble with looking at how you're running over a small sample of hands is that it can lead to you believing you're a far better or worse player than you actually are.

Also even if it was jokingly. don't ask if Stars is rigged. It isn't.

I know it isn't
I guess my real question is , I currently have 23 buy ins for 10nl after the recent loss. should I go back to 5nl or try 10nl again ?
what is the proper BRM for these stakes ?

BRM shouldn't be determined by stakes. Use BRM according to what you feel comfortable with. Right now it seems you aren't that comfortable so I'd recommend you just drop down until you feel like you are playing your A-game again.

I feel your pain. After having a bad experience on ACR, I put a whole $20 (LOL) in Bovada. I was up over $60 soon after & I am now at $0. Sure, I made a few bad calls, but none that cost me any huge amounts. It was the countless bad beats that took my money. I seriously wonder why I still play poker.

Sucks mate....Would recommend returning to 5nl again where you were winning and try and get a few BIs for 10nl and try that again...bad beats happen to the best of us...Win a bit then move up...Good Luck

I´ve been there last month. From 54 dollars made 220 playing 2NL and then 5NL rush, moved up to 10NL when in short session I get lucky and bumb into two idiots and was up to 240 dollars. BOOM, next day I was staring at 180 dollars like what the hell happened?? 6 stacks gone. Sure I was pissed (mainly because I had such a crazy hot run without a problem from 54 to 220). Few unlucky pots and get into grinding 5NL again. Those things happens. Don´t worry, you´ll overcome them. And one note: Pokerstars´ Zoom have pretty tough player base so take notes (I mean idiot-agressive)...I got back to FullTilt to start clearing my bonus again and it´s much easier there
