    i feel like posting alot tonight. My question is...if you are crushing a particular level of full ring cash games should you move up?

    Basically i multi-table 50c/1$ and crush it and am so confident with my game at this level its ridic but does this automatically mean i should move up limits (if my bankroll is suffient). You see, the thought of losing say a $200 pot doesnt really bother me, but if i lost say a $500-$600 to some runner runner flush i can see how that could tilt me or affect my game

    Mix in one or two tables of 1/2 into your regular sessions and see how it goes so you gradually move up in stakes.

    This maybe bad advice, as alot of people will natuarally focus on the higher stakes tables which creates an imbalence in your focus. Also If you get stacked on the 1/2 table and dubble up on the .5/1 table it is frusterating and may tilt you.

    I suggest playing a few less tables than normal, and having a set amount of buyins you are willing to use for your "shot" at 1/2, if you blow these build back up to this amount before you take another shot.

    Also, you say you crush .5/1, this may be so but it is a good idea to use a tracker program so you know your actual winrate after like 50K hands..
