Question for those with $1K+ bankrolls

[kayaker]

Originally deposited $100 into <Poker Site A> and played my way down to $11 via $0.10/$0.25 NL. I built that back up to about $200 via $5 SnGs and then more $0.10/$0.25 NL. (Those were the smallest stakes at the time.) Took that money out and put it in <Poker Site B> where I quickly rolled it up over $1,000 going from $0.10/$0.25 up to $0.50/$1 NL (NL25 to NL100).

I later cashed everything out and have just recently started playing online again. A buddy fronted me $30 that has become just shy of $70 (and he's paid back), mostly from the $5 SnGs. I tried the $0.50, $1 and $2 SnGs, but found that I was not able to play my game as effectively at those levels due to too many morons. And I didn't really want to get too much in the habits I would need to kill that game when I play $1/$2 cash home games and $2/$5 at casinos.

My advice is to move up to the $5 games. Your roll is big enough to play those just fine. If you go on a bad run or just find that you're having trouble with the transition, move back down to the $2 games. If the $5 games work well for you, move up to the $10 games once you hit $200-250. (Knowing that I can beat the $10 games, I plan to move up at $100, but I don't recommend that for beginners, even if you play a lot live. Online is different and takes some adjustments to your strategy.)

The other side of the coin is the cash games. If your boredom with the $1 SnGs has more to do with the SnG part, cash games can be a nice change of pace. Play the $0.05/$0/10 cash games for a bit and see how you do. There is money to be made from both SnGs and cash games. It's really more of a personal preference as to which suits you best.
