congrats!!
i had faith..... really i did.
Ok first my man go back to the taggy for a bit watch the tables and stuff. Not really much difference apart from players will now bluff and call your bluffs a bit more often. There isnt much in the way of level 3 play, in fact most still struggle with level2, what does my opponent have.
The most important skill i picked up at 50nl was reraising opps with top pair (especially after a preflop raise) to find out where you are (if you dont do this already) Mixed with your style this should do just fine.
Good luck and ill meet you at 100nl in the summer i hopes :P

edit i cant remember where you play (stars???) but a lot of people say that 50nl is a rock fest. I wont deny it might be on some sites but where ive played making the most of each hand is crucial, rather than being aggressive. You may have to move tables a lot. depends!
Yep Stars. At my first real session Gametime+ had the following for my 6max (note: SIX MAX) table:

myself: 33% VPIP with 10% PFR (not sure about my PFR but thats about what it usually is)
three guys 8% (yes, 8%)-20% VPIP and 0-1% PFR
one guy 68% VPIP with 0% PFR (man I loved this guy)
one guy with VPIP of 33% as well but I don't remember his PFR

The table was so easy...example hand:
