fwiw, madtom is making a lot of sense here.
He's not a stupid guy, and plus $1,000 to him is nothing. He's just not really an online type of player and is impressed that I can play so many tables and how much I can make off of just 10 NL.
I wouldn't lose it all anyway, if I got down to $500 I'd stop.
This is what made my staker want to stake me for those of you who keep wanting to go on about the stake instead of what I really asked.

Just take it this way, everyones experience at the different stakes is different. Ppl crush 200nl and fail hard at 400nl, and vice versa, thats just how it works. There really is nothing that we can say, you just have to play there and see what the differences are for yourself because it varies on the type of player you are and where you play but trust me that you are definitely not ready for it and that is all you need to know.
Btw, for you to break even and make a ton at rakeback, you need to play 300K hands or so a month and 20K in 8 days wont cut it.

Stick to the micros from now, post some hands and clear up some leaks and then you can talk about going up to the 25
Clearly, that was 20ish hours of play.
But even so JUST breaking even would have gotten me $250 minimum in RB at that stake for 20 hours.
I'll post this again, I'm getting tired of repeating myself to comments like this.
You guys are basically telling me not to be staked free money to take shots at 50 NL? Thats gotta be the stupidest thing I've ever heard, why not? Its a great learning experience and I've got nothing to lose.
I'll say this again, this is about the difference between 10 NL and 50 NL, NOT about me being able to beat it and whatnot, I already figured long before posting this that I can't, not that there is no reason not to try, I just wanted some tips/advice.. Bashing with stuff I ALREADY KNOW is really ridiculous and stupid on your part.
Yes but it took you 8 days to play 20 hours. You would need to paly 8 to 10 hours a day for it to work out just on rakeback.
Fine take the ****ing stake. Just be prepared which is what we are trying to tell you.
Could you tell whoever is staking you that I have some magic beans for sale? Thanks!
I have to admire you, marginal. You're a helluva lot more patient/tenacious/masochistic than I am. Oh, I bet you're trying to get to 2500 posts. That's it.
What I am saying is you are not a ****ing grinder. You are not playing huge amounts of hands a month and thus wont be making enough rakeback and you are not making that much rakeback every 20K hands.
You are overstating what you will be making for rakeback. Have you ever played 10K hands in a day?
You do realise that you have never played 50nl? I have experience up to 200plo so I think I know a little bit more than you about matters of rb etc and how things work.
