April Showers Bring Me Dollars

Really corny title, I know, but April has been positive so far since my downfall that was the end of March. April hasn't been nearly as good as the beginning of March, but anything positive is good to me. I am up about 2.5 buy-ins for 5NL so far in April, that is from playing about half and half between 2NL and 5NL. With as spewy as I was at 5NL towards the end of March, I dropped down to 2NL to reevaluate my game, even though I was still above my 30 buy-in threshold, it wasn't worth losing anymore when I could find out the same information down a limit. What did I find out you ask? Nothing. I have no clue what was going on with that span of losing sessions that was different from my span of winning sessions. The only thing I can think of is just plain old variance. The hands that I lost the most with were my premium hands and about 75% of those losing hands were all in preflop and just didn't hold up til the end. Nothing I can do about that except for folding AA preflop and, variance or not, I do not have the strength as a player yet to do that in a ring game(I have done it in satellites before, but there is actually strategy to that when it comes down to the end). Well I really don't have much more for today and I don't have any graphs and such because I am on the road and away from my desktop which has all of that on there. Hope everyone has a great week, the weather is getting nicer outside.
