I don't think I understand the game all that well, but I would like to chime in here. The thing that keeps me from moving up is bankroll. My initial stake was $500 about 2 months ago, when I first began playing for real money online. I have since built that up enough to play $3/$6.

Having a job alleviates needing a >300BB bankroll since you can always rebuy, but I personally would prefer not to invest any more money and just continue to build my bankroll until it is large enough to handle the swings at higher levels.

If I keep running good and bonus whore a little more, I'll probably move to $5/10 in a few months.
