I know many pro's suggest about 30 buyins for a level, but if that is the case I shoud be playing at least 2/4 NL.

I'm sure other might have similiar questions and any suggestions would be appreciated.
1. Anything + is winning. Especially with rakeback, any profit is good.

2. The received wisdom is that playing up to $100NL is fairly "straightforward" and so moving up is more or less bankroll related. If you're happy playing at $100NL then do it if you've got 20-30BI.

Be ready to move down if you're lacking in experience at cash games. It's cheaper to plug leaks lower down.

Playing mid-stakes would probably be overly ambitious. But if you're winning or break-even at $100NL for a few k hands then take a shot and see what happens.
