This is very far from the truth and i recommend you'd stop playing above your BR because when variance hits the fan you'll be broke.
Do explain, because I've run the math and I'll wager you havent
This came off harsher than I wanted it to, apologies. In any case, I'll explain.

Lets say you have $2,000, just at the bottom edge of rolled for 100NL, and some would argue not even enough for that. In any case for 200NL we're only buying in for 20bb or $40. This gives you 50 buyins. I dont think anyone could successfully argue that 50 buyins isn't enough. And therefore you indeed can play higher stakes than you would be able to otherwise.
