First, how do you know you can beat 25NL? So far all we've heard here is that you moved up, played 1,000 hands, lost 5 buy-ins, and moved back down. Whether they were coolers or bad beats or whatever, who cares? The fact is that I don't see anything there that suggests you can beat that game. Quite the contrary.
Second, as has already been pointed out by Jason, short stacking takes away your edge, so even if you can beat 25NL, why would you handicap yourself like that?
Third - and this is the surely the most obvious point of all - you said you're buying in for 20BB at 25NL (which is $5) so that you can get your BR back up to fully rolled for that level. Lets look at your two options:
- $5 stacks at a harder level (25NL) and a style you're not used to; or
- $10 stacks at an easier level (10NL) playing your normal style.
Which do you think will be the more profitable?
By the way, if your response to that last question is that you can play more tables short stacking, well, maybe you're beyond help.
