My thoughts didn't come out exactly as planned. What I meant to say was play your game but play tighter when decisions come your way. That is just my experience. Playing "scared" is not good but playing carefully helping me get a feel for the higher stakes. I did indeed start out playing "my game" but it had leaks so I went back to 25NL. When I returned, I waited a bit before playing SCs, small PPs, etc. Then I became more comfortable. For me ... I was uncomfortable at first ... nervous ... playing scared probably ... but I got over it by playing a bit more conservatively at first. That's what worked for me ... my $.02.

As for BR when I moved UP, I had $750 or 15 buyins ... had been playing 25NL and felt ready. I did not jump with $200.
