Default I may need advice!

I have money at various places around the net, but Bet365 is based in the UK i think, and if i deposit through my bank Debit card, it is pretty much an instant withdrawal....

So. i am bored of PokerChamps and Jetset so i think ill deposit $50 out of my bank and see what happens. Start with a few sit and gos $10 turbos mainly, get it up to $150, so being sensible, i cash out $75.

Then comes the cash games, for those of you that know me i play 1/2, so i did... and tripled my stack, $200, not bad. Cashed another $100.

Now comes the bad bit, and yes im already $125 up in less than 2 hours, but here we go.

I move up a limit to 3/6. I sat with $102. I was playing 6MAX by the way. About an hour into this fun, im there with about $240, played some good and bad hands, but in general done OK. Then the limits start getting up with me. I tighten up and am losing money on the Blinds, stealing isnt working, bluffs are being called and im losing my bet respect. Eventually i get down to $75 and leave and cash out for some extra money for the weekend.

QUESTION - Did i lose because i am not ready for this level? Or did i lose because i played tighter trying to protect my stack, rather than stay the same and keep going, or some other reason???

Please discuss, i need to know.
