Default playing a mix of levels

So ive been playing a mix of 25NL 50NL and 100NL recently (even though Im rolled for max tables at 100NL) because I cant find enough "quality" games to play @ the 100NL level. Should I just bite the bullet and resign myself to the fact that Im going to need to be playing in games with less than 35% to the flop?

Anybody else play a mix of levels like this? Anybody know a good reason why I shouldnt?

PS
Back when I used to play other games (LHE, PLO8, whatever) I used to do the same thing.

I do this with 50NL and 100NL as sometimes the 100Nl only has 3 tables without a list and those are the 25% VPIP tables. Then I look at the 50NL and there's always at least a few 30%+ tables with no list. I'm really getting sick of playing 50 NL though and find myself bored out of my mind as I'm overolled for it.

one of the best things about online play is the ability to game select, and many people (including myself) dont do enough of it. keep trying to find the good games, but remember youre looking for the most +EV table(s) possible. this may mean "less juicy" 100nl tables, or "more juicy" 50nl tables, only you can tell

I lol'ed at this. 100NL is a huge fishpond.

Anyway, serious answer: I try not to do it because if I'm too busy I can screw up by raising preflop to a wrong amount because I mix up the levels.

I play everything from $50NL to $200NL (I've played some $400NL but nowhere near enough to call it my regular game) and I'm usually playing at least 2 levels at once.

I stack tables, rather than tile them and when I'm playing multiple levels (usually I only do two, either $50NL and $100NL or $100NL and $200NL) I'll have a stack for each level - That is a stack of $100NL and a stack on $200NL. That usually helps to keep from mixing bet sizes. I usually use the slider for preflop raises anyway and post flop it's all based on flop size so it's pretty rare to get things mixed up.

I play the $25 when the $50 games don't look to good. I don't play different levels at the same time though, confuses the hell out of me.

Fishy is all relative. NL100 games are harder than NL50. People who play NL200 will probably find NL100 easy.
People who play NL2000 will find NL200 easy.
Not everyone here is the same skill level but we are all trying to learn.
Can we discontinue these types of responses please?

What i mean is that game selection is NOT so important at nl 100. Sure there are tougher table but usually when there is not 3 regular on the table, its a good table.

its the same thing at nl 200. Or i guess i dont do good game selection lol
