    I have been on a tear recently increasing my bankroll ten fold in the last few weeks. I don't put in as much time as many of you craaazy grinders out there but have been taking it more serious lately. I have been playing only cash but have had some good success at MTTs in the past.

    I am not sure what I should do now....

    move up stakes?
    Jump into the big MTTs?
    wait until my bankroll has more padding before moving up?

    I am on the verge of crushing this game...i can feel it but don't want to rush things and run myself broke going for it (like MATT DAMON did on Rounders!!!)

    What should I do?

    oh and I started with a $1.13 bankroll and am currently at $12.43 if that helps your advice.

    no offense guys, but I am looking for some advice from some sick pros on this one....I mean the $11 MTT is prob a good idea since I pwn $11 ones in the past, but not sure I want to stick my neck out just yet (even if my odds of cashing are 85% or so)

    I know sometimes when you are on a roll like I am, its time to take a shot, but not sure of the exact place to pull the trigger.

    Well, if this is not a level (i don't think it is) then you should definately do with what you have been most succesful with. Don't let people tell you that you are toast. You have made it to where you are, now just compliment that with continued good play. BR manag. is the key at this point. If you are properly rolled then by all means move up, if not just stay where you are at. But also remember this, all (and I mean ALL) have taken chances sooner or later to get where they are at. This is regardless of whether they say they only deposited once for $50 or not. GL to you.

    What should I do?
