Fimbulwinter's post is a classic but it was written over 18 months ago when the games were a lot easier. I'd say you should be able to do everything on the list up to 200nl before trying for 50nl these days - apart from needing $3k obv!

try 50NL when:

- you're confident in your preflop game
- you understand position
- you have a good idea of their hand by the river
- you have an ok feel when to continuation bet
- you have 500 or more

100NL when:

- you're confident playing draws
- you can spot good semibluff opportunities
- you can lay down AA/KK unimproved
- you're attacking the blinds in easy steal situations
- you have 1200+

200NL when:

- you're ok betting your stack on a draw
- a PFR from you doesnt always mean AA-JJ and AQs+
- you're starting to play one hand while holding another
- you have more than one mode
- you have 3000 or more

mikechops, I agree with that, but also I think that aa serious player should have at least double the recommended BR. Variance has increased as well.

Yeah 500 is OK for taking shots and you are prepared to move down after losing 200, but 1k is more like it for a serious roll.
