No. Six is correct. Just to add though, this is actually a common fallacy among new players. They overestimate their skills and assume incorrectly that they would have better results at higher levels because their advanced skills will translate better at these levels. There is an old running joke on these forums when new posters write about their troubles at lower levels and hinting that they'd do better at higher levels, you will often hear old heads say, yes you need to move up to where they will respect your raises. This is teasing at this misconception.
The truth is that if you cant beat NL25, you wont be able to beat NL50(rake aside), let alone NL1000.
Another problem you might be having is assuming that your casino NL200 game or even higher in many cases is significantly harder than standard online NL25 games. That will most likely not be the case. Generally online NL25 games will be more difficult than live NL200 tables for example despite the blind difference.
And like six said, variance. Just keep grinding those games. If you are good enough to beat them you will over a larger sample.
Good luck.
