Hi
Ive played husng regular speed for a few months. I played a little bit at 20$ where my ROI was over 20% then I moved up to 30$ where I was a solid winner too (ROI 16% after 900 games). Some time ago I decided to start playing at 50$ and after 240 games my ROI at this level is -5%. My question is if there is really such a big difference between 30 and 50 level and I should move back down or is it possible that I only run that bad?

It's quite possible you were running hot to begin with and now are running bad as well.
I'd still look at it as a "I need to focus and improve my game more" type of lesson and just move back into the $30s, get comfortable and take some more shots at the $50s. If bankroll and short term profit are of no concern to you, take some shots at the $50s sooner than you otherwise would.
The games shouldn't be much tougher unless you're talking about a time period of 1-2 years between your dominance in the $30s and lack of success in the $50s.
I suspect it's a little bit of opposite variance in the two stakes combined with worse play by you in the $50s than the $30s, but it's definitely possible that one of these factors is happening the most, almost impossible to tell from here though.
240 games isn't a great deal of games but 16% ROis over 900 games in regular speeds is a pretty solid stat line for you and would lead me to believe that even if you were running a little hot, you can definitely beat the $50s for at least a 5% ROI.
I'll play for one or two months the $30s, 2 table a little bit, and maybe try some turbos.
