I'm thinking of taking a shot at $50NL and dropping back down if I lose 3-4 buy-ins. Does anyone have any advice?

I'm actually overrolled for $25NL with a $1.7k BR but I am cashing out ~$600 or so to pay some stuff off. I plan on dropping back down to $25NL if the remainder of my BR falls below $900, just because I play much better when I have a large safety net (I'm a BR nit).

Here was January for me. Lately (the past 5k hands or so) I have been playing a lot looser, with stats more like 23/17 and 38% attempt to steal.

Yeah, move up.
