Yeah you've got a fair point since you think yourself good enough to compete at 50nl.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want to get 'stuck' at 25nl, plodding along just tryna grab a few extra $ to give me some comfort at 50nl. It's just, say I woke up tomorrow bankrolled for 50nl: then i'd have spent no time trying things out at a stake where it's cheaper to do so.

This belies a weak mentality, since you should really, probably forcibly, get better in amongst better players at higher stakes. But I continue to recognise so many foreign concepts that aren't inapplicable at the lower stakes that I haven't yet tried or learned.

I think this probably highlights that so long as we aren't moving up as losing players with an inadequate roll, it all depends on the individual and where he thinks he's at in the game.
