Hi again.

I have been playing poker now for 10 months. If you have read some of my other posts I feel I am a decent player but at present going through an unlucky spell!!! (At showdown I am ahead about 8 times out of 10)

I feel comfortable enough to move up stakes. Would you guys have any advice?

Generally i'd say its a bad time to move up levels if you are in the middle of a cold spell.

Best time is in the middle of a hot streak; and if you really want to shift through the levels quickly then dont cash anything out at all after big wins until you get to a level you are happy with.

In all cases apply some decent BRM to determine the level.

Obviously dont look to spiral up levels by depositing more cash, or by committing a too high BR%. Let it happen naturally.

Good Luck

You should raise your stakes when your bankroll can afford it and when you feel mentally ready for it. The most important part is the mental. You dont want to play scared.
