I bookmarked this post so I could re-read it, as I really identified with it.

I'm almost in the exact same boat.  I moved up the the $25 tables January 1st.  I hit a heater for one week.  I just kept winning and winning.  I only had one suck out on a guy for a big pot, hitting trips on the river when all-in against a bigger over pair.

Then I had the Saturday from hell.  I was at a table of fish who kept calling with junk.  I lost five full buy-ins, losing just about every big hand when I was all-in with the best of it and they drew out on me.  I'd have lost 7 buy-ins, but I won two big pots towards the end.

I've had a lot of ups and downs since then, but haven't been able to get a sense of steadiness.  It seems that I can win a lot of small pots, but whenever I get into a big pot I lose, and I almost always have the best of it when I get all my chips in.

I think a part of it has been that when I moved up, I had no fear.  I had a strategy (much learned from videos I found online, including some in [URL="https://www.cardschat.com/f53/"]the CC video section[/URL])

Now I have fear.  I've been weaker post flop.  Just like in your case, I think that's tainting  my profitability.  I win, but not nearly what I should be winning.  People see that I'm only pushing with big hands, and are able to bail when I get more aggressive.

I think maybe I need to take a few days off, and spend my poker time reading strategy and watching videos.  Then I can hit the tables hungry.
