And I realize that downswings at uNL are not the result of variance but rather horrible post-flop decisions that turn into tilting.

Yeah, so I'm down a few buy-ins. Not the end of the world by any means and I should still be able to hit 25nl at the end of August. But holy shit, note to self: "Fold to Aggression Without the Best Hand You Stupid Fuck!"
This is exactly how I dropped 8 buyins this week, also at 5NL.
I excluded myself from Stars for a few days once I realized what was going on - I was badly tilted and it crept up on me so slowly I didn't notice.

One other point worthy of note from my experience is that 3bets at 5NL seem to be KK+ 90% of the time, and if you hold KK and get 3bet, you're up against rockets 99% of the time.
Quite a difference from 2NL. Anyone else notice this?

edit: sorry, I mistakenly thought you were at 5NL - I'll keep the post as is, though
