I would definitely single-table for your firsat few sessions at a new limit. You'll find the adrenaline etc. enough to keep the boredom at bay! I actually did buyin short for a while when I played $50 tables - I'd invest $40 because that was actually LESS in real financial terms than I was risking at £25NL!

The weird thing is that I can happily sit down at 5max $50NL but balk at 10max. Meh.

Actually, I am beginning to feel left behind in poker at the moment - most of my friends who I shared a level with or was ahead of are up to $50-$200 by now, and I really feel I've fallen behind. I am scared though because I kn0ow the average $25/£25 player so well now and I would feel so... uncertain at a higher level.
