Default Transitioning to NL from limit: What level to start at?

I'm taking a break from limit for a while after hitting a bit of a wall at 5/10. My bankroll is a little more than $4k right now, but I don't know where to start. From reading NL bankroll posts, I'd be close to NL200. But clearly, I don't need to jump right in at this level. So where do I start? 25? 50? 100? Any help on this would be great.

Start at 25 and move up a level each time you feel like you're comfortable beating that level.

OMG, another one!?!?!

Just kidding. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] I guess the question depends on your tolerance for risk. 100NL would be a good place to start learning, and I don't see the point in playing lower if you're rolled for it. OTOH you can easily dump 5 buyins even if you're an experienced player, it depends if you're OK with possible swings at the start (as a limit player I guess you might be.)

So 50 or 100NL, depending on how much gamble you have.

This mass exodus to NLHE by limit guys sure is interesting. I would vote for NL50, with the goal of being at NL100 once you get some hands under your belt.

100NL at stars isn't a particularly agressive game and you're well rolled for it, it's probably a good place to start.

How big a jump in difficulty is 25NL/50NL/100NL, In your opinion, jam?

Not very big. There is a slight increase in aggression and a few more players know what they're doing but many of the donks are the same or worse. If someone feels confident at 25NL I can't se anything that would stop them beating 100NL.

Yeah, after some of the limit swings, I think I can handle 5-10 buy-ins at NL100 while learning the game. Hopefully, you all weren't advising this just so you can try to take my money. Thanks for the input.
