My current br ~$1125 and I feel like I'm learning more and more about 6max NL everyday. I am a bit of a BR nit and b/c this BR is my last shot at poker I have yet to move up to $50NL. Running 5ptbb/100 is all well and good at $25NL but I am really not accumulating any bonus or rb. Every 1k hands I might accumulate $12-15 in bonus+rb.

So here is my question: why shouldn't I shortstack to 75bb stack $50NL? The bonus clears twice as quickly there as well as I gain more rakeback. UB points also clear twice as quickly meaning I'll have more for the weekly UB points promo. It would take 20k hands to make $150/wk in the promo at $25nl but only 10k (manageable) at $50nl.

I might lose a bit of postflop skills but at least I'll be up a level learning more about how the players play at that level. Once I get my roll to $1500 I fully intend to buy in full at $50nl.

So what am I missing? Sounds too good to be true.
