I've heard from some people that going through the entire regrind from 2-50NL is a worthwhile experience however. Ensures your fundamentals are solid, even if you perhaps aren't doing much for your game at low stakes i.e. playing against decent regs and so on.
i did this last year, or maybe the year before, and was pretty reluctant to do so because of things mentioned in the first paragraph (and obv my ego telling me i should have been stacking suckers for 10x the $ amount i was playing for). however i think sticking to that mission was one of the best things for my poker development. as long as you are actually studying and playing, which imo you should do at a ratio of least 1:1 until you are a comfortable winner at low stakes, then i think it's a good idea if you are stuck in a poker/financial rut
