Why play $10NL?

Clearly you need to play more hands. Don't skip a level. I don't know about the 200BB buy in deal at stars cause I don't play there but saying you can win more at 5NL just cause you can buy in at 200BB doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Maybe you can win more at 5NL because you can beat 5NL but can't beat 10NL. Post hands, get stats looked at, read articles and for God's sake don't base anything off of a sample that is less than 20% the size of what many online regulars play in a month.

Yeah, I'm about 10 below EV on my *life-time* graph.
