Everything was going as plan. I was to build my br from $75 to 10k in limit hold'em. Already made close to 1k in a matter of 3 day's and was certain I'll succeed and not tilt my br away.
Then it happened, I made a br mistake and tried to move up too soon. I thought if I played very safe I'd be ok and the potential to moveup from 2/4 to 5/10 or higher seemed alluring to me. It just took a few downswings and a string of bad beat's right from the start to put me on emotional tilt.
I just can't believe how my luck/& play has changed drastically the moment I was no longer properly rolled for my game.
Anyway's, how long do you recommend I take a break for until all that negativity wears off and I can start playing again?

Although you may well be a solid 2/4 player, being able win 1K in three days certainly involves running good, since if I assume you played for 30+ hours and earned $30/hr, this is unsustainable at 2/4. Given the typical casino rake, toke, and possible BBJ, I think that anything over $10/hr at 2/4 is pretty unsustainable.
You say you can't believe how your luck changed after you moved up in stakes, but the fact is that you were simply on a heater for those first three days.

Nah, I wasn't really on a heater it took skill, determination, emotional control and only some run good to get too where I was. Not as smooth as you think it was..
Not like it matter's, I've busted my roll and feel miserable right now.. Just wanted to know how long til this feeling goes away!
