Fish at higher level

I play 50nl 5max (ongame skin) with a roll around 2k. Whilst looking at the 100nl tables i noticed a few of the fish iv got marked from 50nl playing 100nl. Is it worth taking shots at these tables with a fish and 3 unknown players? Iv refrained uptill now but im tempted.

You're rolled for 100nl. Taking a shot at a soft game there wouldn't hurt you at all.

I thought 25-30 buyins was reccommended for 100nl. Anyway your right im going to take a shot next chance. If i take a hit so be it.

20 buyins is sort of the minimum you wanna go with. Your bankroll can handle a shot no problem, especially if you're playing people that you've normall been successful against.

I would encourage you to start taking shots at 20 buyins. Look for softer games, but take shots regardless.

Im taking a pop now iv spotted a table with a fish, some 3/4 stackers and a large stack. Il play my game and see how it goes.

pretty much the perfect time to take the shot...anytime I've taken shots (live or online), it was with a yummy table.

If your edge is high your bankroll requirements are going to be a little less, but generally at 20 BI you should at least recognize that you're under-bankrolled more often than not.

If you're not a pro depending on your bankroll to survive, it's really not that big a deal though.
