Learn, learn, keep learning. Hopefully there are a few things in this thread you can pick up. This is a good start.
If you're, say, beating 5 NL at 8 PT/BB100 you should be at least BE at 10nl. It's not that much of a jump. No level is online. A lot of it is in our heads. I've been at 50nl since December and it's the second time I made the jump to 50, the first coming back in JUNE. JUUUNNNNEEE. Took me months to realize what I needed to do better to make the move. I took 1.5 months off, gave it another shot and have done well since. Now I'm focusing on moving up to 100 and the increased money tilts me (it always does) and throws off my betting schemes. Eventually, I'll get used to it. But it's taken MONTHS, tens of thousands of hands to be comfortable at 50 and beat it and to EVEN THINK about moving up. I know what it's like. I was -$175 during July and August while playing 25/50 and it was the most God awful frustrating cycle. Everytime I won a BI or two and got moving I'd blow it back, usually of my own accord. Sometimes the cards.
This is a process. Always be learning. Always be self assessing. There's always something you could be doing better. That's why we're playing 10 and 25 and 50 and not 1000 with Ivey & Co.
