re: Poker & Crushing NL5
Variance is still very large over 7k hands, and most likely this was a sunshine run. If variance is 100, which is typical for 6-max, there is 30% chance of running 12 BB/100 below or above average, and there is 5% chance of running 24 BB/100 below or above average. So there is actually around 2,5% risk, you are not even a winning player at 5NL.
That being said there is not a huge gap in the average skill level from 5NL to 10NL, so if the bankroll is large enough, maybe its fine to start taking some shots at 10NL already. GG Poker has no limit below 10NL now, and there is something to be said for not spending your time on real money cash games below 10NL. There are still plenty of recs at 10NL, since for many 10$ is a nice amount of money to gamble with at a time.
