If you can beat 5NL 12-tabling, there's no reason for you to drop tables. Drop tables when you move up to focus on how people play differently. I don't care what people say, EVERY LEVEL IS SLIGHTLY HARDER!

...

I've gone from 5NL to 50NL and what I've noticed in general is that each level the following things happen a bit more:

1) Fewer players cold call raises pre-flop.
2) Players get more aggressive post-flop.
3) Position determines actions and betting patterns of every hand more than the actual cards.

QFT (although I started online play at NL25, and now play NL50 and some NL100, so I can't make any claims about NL5 or NL10.)

Congratulations on your early success. Just make sure not to make the same mistake so many poker players do and play underrolled. The 20 buy-in guideline that's the conventional wisdom around here isn't perfect, but should keep you from going busto. I know a solid player, probably better than myself, who kept cashing out when he'd get about $800. He was playing NL100. He lost more than 75% of that one bad night, and didn't play for months.

Someone smarter than me once said on these forums that bankroll typically increases faster than skill, especially at the cheaper limits. Also QFT. This is why you need to spend at least 10K hands at NL10--you don't want the skill level of your opponents to hit you all at once.

Good luck.
