Adding on to al money's post, if you ffeel comfortable with the stakes you're playing at then fine. Definitely be prepared to move back down though because 25nl is a completely different game. Also, read some of the stickied posts about hand reading, baluga theory, and esspecially the threads on moving up.

In what aspects is 25NL different than 10NL? It seemed like more idiots if anything, tbh. Lot looser players, seriously.

The differences are basically the same that you will get every time you move up in stakes. There is a slightly larger amount of preflop aggression, you will run into semi-bluffs a bit more, and on average people require a slightly better hand to stack of with than the previous level. This is why I suggested the 20 buy-in for moving up and dropping down after you hit what would be 15 buy-ins for the level you just moved up to. Basically, if you have trouble adjusting to the new level you won't spend that long at it, but will move down to the previous level rather quickly. As you bounce back and forth between them each level becomes a bit easier since as you gradually adjust to the increase in difficulty at the new level the skills you gain during that adjustment make the lower level easier to beat. Next thing you know, you are robusto at the new stakes and are on your way to doing it all over again soon.
