Default Re: Moving Up (tl;dr)

Inspiring post, thanks for sharing.

I play fewer tables (only 3 atm lol), preferring a higher winrate and also being able to get a good "feel" of what is going on at each table (who is tilting, bluffing, getting impatient, etc)

I spent a long long time (about 20,000 hands single-tabling) at $10NL to really learn the game and iron out my major leaks. The money I won was meaningless at $10NL, but this taught me patience and discipline. I only moved up to $25NL when I was confident I was a winning player

I moved up to $25NL when my BR reached $400 and played very nitty at first until my BR reached $500+ After ~7500 hands at $25NL, my winrate was >10ptBB / 100 and my BR reached $800. A tiny sample of hands I know, but enough to give me confidence to take a shot at $50NL, which I did today. I hope to continue aggressively moving up the stakes, while continuing to improve my game.
