differences at micros

I read on other sites and forums that the winrate at 10nl, 25nl, and 50nl is not so good like 2nl or 5nl. Why is that? For now I play at 5nl and my winrate is 10bb/100 (witch is decent in my opinion) and I will move on to the next stage at 10nl soon. What should I expect?
1. My winrate is going to drop to 2-5 bb/100? (witch I heard is good at higher stakes)
2. The players are much better?
3. Until what limit I have to maintain this straightforward style (no bluffs, no slowplay)?
Are there any BIG differences between these limits? just curious. Thank You !

Reason #2. The better the players are, the less of an edge you have. This obviously strongly correlates with our expected winrate. The more of an edge you have, the higher winrate you can expect.

Nice winrate at 5NL btw, if your BR allows, give 10NL a go.

I am having a bit of difficulty moving from 4nl to 10nl, so to start with I would say yes the bad players are the same, but the good players are a lot better. I think 10nl regs think at level 3 poker rather than just level 2 imo.

Plus the regs at 4nl pretty much play their hand face up, it isnt the same at 10nl.

First of all just play 2 tables and make sure they are not full of regs.

You are giving them wayyyy too much credit. Seriously, just value bet their asses to the bank.

The two main things to keep in mind about the micros is that a) everyone plays like it's opposite day and b) the rake will rake your face.
