Hi there,

Been doing really well lately as a micro tag. I blame my sensibility and also FTR for all their help. There's been some tough love on here but it's all welcome.

So i moved up from 2nl to 5nl recently and although i was over rolled a bit (to give myself some extra confidence) after 3k hands i'm only 5 buy-ins away from moving up to 10nl.

I have noticed that 5nl is actually fishier than 2nl. My theory for this is that people who play poker for shits n' giggles won't buy in for two bucks coz it's too little but people who want to learn poker in earnest will want to start from the bottom and work up. Thus, more fish at 5nl coz it's not TOO cheap a game to have fun with.

So, that's my perspective... but... question:

I've been very seriously considering hammering my way through the stakes and living the poker dream of earning a modest living off it seeing as i hate all forms of employment AND the sound alarms going off at 7:30am.

(wait, i'm getting to my point)

So i'm always always pondering... what are the OTHER stakes like? could they be fishy? i'm not big on equity, 3betting, 4 betting... will my tighter range and reasonable reads + poker tracker stats hold up under higher stakes pressure??

and the ultimate.... will i ever be a successful 100nl player!?!

So if you please, i'd like a few short sentences of your experiences of the characteristics of each stake (i shall seed the list with my experiences):

2nl - loose as you like, but more nitty that you'd imagine at times
5nl - couple of solid tags but the rest are apeshit loose crazy idiots
10nl
25nl
50nl
100nl

cheers folks.
