Stepping up from $2/$1 table?

I have played at the $2/$1 NL Max 6 tables and think I handle them real well. How big difference is it to go up to $6/$3 or $4/$2 and maybe even $10/$5?

{from beginner's circle}

Mike, this is not meant to be harsh at all, this is meant to be helpful. If you don't know that the stakes are called 1/2, 2/4, and 3/6 (no 2/1, 4/2) then you should probably move down. Start at the bottom and work your way up. What's your bankroll right now? Do you have Pokertracker? How long have you been playing?

And 6max, not max6

How many hands have you played?

Why you guys gotta pick on the new dyslexic guy, he probably can't even find his post after Miss Bee moved it...

is it a bad sign that i didn't even notice he reversed the numbers or wrote max 6 instead of 6 max?

Maybe he's actually playing in a game where SB posts $2 and BB posts $1 =)

probably not..

though now that I mention it, I wonder how a game like that would play differently?.. Probably not too much, except in blind wars....

ok.. now i'm talking to myself.

I think there is a big diffrence between 100NL and 200NL, when I moved up I had to get used to that I couldnt limp in for cheap as much and see if I could trap someone with a hand like 79s. Another thing I notised was that I more often got reraised 4 times. When I raised $8 on the button I often got reraised to $27 from the BB, which I rarely did in 100NL.
From 200NL to 400NL I really didnt feel much diffrence, its quite the same pressure at the tables. I havent had many 600NL sessions because I dont think im good enough yet but I feel there is a diffrence again here. I see more speculative play here and more bluffs. People seems to love squeeze play here a lot so I have to tighten up even more at this level. Another thing I notised is that there is a lot more players with a big ego here that is influenced by their play because they think they are a world class player and therefore think they have to be creative all the time, so I really think ABC poker still works fine here, but im not experienced enough to tell more about this level, just what I think, others might disagree.

About bankroll management always keep 15 buy-ins for each level, so if you want to move up from $1-$2 to $2-$4 you need at least $6000 at your account. If you get down to $3000 because of a bad streak or whatever caused it move down no matter what. I have seen many players bust a bankroll because they move up and claim that they just were unlucky to hit a bad streak just when they were moving up, but it could also be a bad play. Just dont let any ego control you to make bad decisions.

Lukie returns to 200NL?
