Higher Stakes .....(again)

Well, with over a grand of profit in the kitty, I decided, with a little help from the Betfair forumites, to step up in stakes again. Previous attempts at this have not been a resounding success, and this attempt started off in the usual fashion with 3 £10 stt's and the £4k Gtd mtt all out of the money before I scraped a flukey second in another £10 stt on Betfair for £30.
Cash has also been a loser for me recently, I've been playing micro stakes on Bet 365, managing to drop $40 over the weekend, to further dent my bankroll.
Previous forays into the higher level tournaments and into cash games have resulted in a losing run, a loss of confidence and a swift return back to the familiar £2 mtt's, this time, however, I'm determined to make a go of it, after all, I can't piss about at the minimum stakes forever.
A similar losing run at the lower stakes wouldn't bother me as I know I can win it back again so I just have to do the same on the slightly higher stakes. A couple of st wins and my confidence will be back and I'll wonder what all the fuss was about.
Tried to play live at the casino on Friday night, however when I turned up at 7:05 (registration starts at 7:00) there was a big queue to register, and murmers that there would not be enough tables to allow everyone to play. This proved to be correct as with only 8 tables, the tournament was limited to 88 entrants, and as number 89 in the queue, I was bubbled before it even began.
