Nice, Just posting because I noticed i've read your updates but nobodys commenting. i suck at hand analysis, so I avoid it. But just letting you know that it's being read. As for taking shots, unless you want to play at $25NL forever, take the shot. Keep in mind, $500 is the minimum bankroll for $25NL, so if things are rough for a stretch, don't panic at $950, you have room, as long as you see daylight in your game and at those stakes, stick it out a bit. Looks like you gave yourself plenty of room though, GL
