Yesterday I was playing with 2x25PL FR, 50NL 7max,
100NL 7max, 200NL FR. I had a real nice session and
weekend. Over 30 BB/100 in all limits 2000 hands.

I have tried short-handed games lately and man they can
be very juicy!

I also ordered new 24" WS monitor with 1920x1200 resolution
so Im planning to go from current 6 tables to over 10 tables.

My biggest error when I started to move up was to think that
I have to play "advanced" poker in higher limits. I tried to
make plays more often and be more aggressive than I usually
am.

Last week I made a big discovery! I dont have to change anything
in my play! I just have to find similar tables at higher limits I
kill at lower limits...

And those kind of tables exist in shorthanded and even FR.

So I'd say, take a shot at the higher stake, and play enough hands to see what your approximate winrate is.. then do the math to see where it is most $$/hour to play.

Apart from that, sometimes I just like the challenge, so I'll make play decisions that aren't the most +ev in order to get better at poker..
