moving up to the 16Ts

OK yesterday I had another great day in the 6.50s and ran my Stars roll up to 300. My goal was 320 before I moved to the 16Ts but I went ahead and did a 4 game set today. Didn't go well though. Game 1 5 handed I open shove 12 BBs with AQ and get instacalled by the BB with AJ. Flop Jxx and gg me. Game 2 I have 99 in BB with 9BBs and btn raises I shove he calls A3ss. Flop comes 2 spades, turn Ace, river spade. Game 3 we're 7 handed and it folds to me in the SB and I shove 1200 into a 900 stack at 75/150 with K4 and he insta calls QT and turns his T to cripple me. Game 4 I shove K4o on the bubble and get called by the guy in game 1 and he had AA. I flop a 4 and river a K. :-) HU I started off with a 2.5:1 lead and got him down 5:1. Then ran K9 into A9. But I got 99 v/s 88 and held so I broke even on the 1st set.

2nd set doesn't start off well either. 25/50 I open the btn AJs and maniac short stack with 15BBs shove KQo and flop is JT9. River ace just to spite me. I blinded down a little while then lost 22 to AK turn and river went A, K. Game 2 UTG limps at 75/150 and I shove 900 with 99 and he had KK. Game 3 I had 10BBs with A9s in the SB and the btn who had been super agro shoves 11BBs so I call and he had AQ and I'm out. Game 4 I was in 3rd place on the bubble and shorty sucks out 75o v/s AK to knock me back into 4th. I kept getting walks in my BB often so I sat back since the other players kept playing pots with each other until we got to 200/400 and I started to pick up some hands and spots I could start shoving. Then the 75 v/s AK guys got into it again J6 v/s AK and J6 flopped 2 pair and we were ITM. I tried to make a move 3 handed with Q9 and the guy had KK and I was out 3rd.

I'm probably going to do 1 more set of 4 and if I don't do well I'll move back to the 6.50s and build back up and try the 16Ts again tomorrow. I don't think they are that much tougher just I'm not running that hot today.
