Lately I have been playing what I consider to loose for my style, calling with any pocket pair when its 10% or less of our stacks, calling big raises with AK after a 4-4-2 flop only to see 8-8 took me down. Things that a couple months ago on a smaller bankroll I wouldnt do.

So I decided to test something, I moved from my regular $50 NL to a $100 NL for the first time. I set $75 down and played pretty smart, making a couple folds over the 100 hands or so that I probably wouldnt have made at lower stakes. With a few good hands I managed to make about $50 and cash out. Since then I have been playing better and not making stupid calls.

Since my bankroll at the time was a mere $550 was it worth the risk? throwing 15% of my BR on a table to try and jolt me out of my downswing?
