Poker Pros Share Tips on Moving Up to Higher Stakes

Moving up to higher stakes in poker can be a daunting task, but experienced players have shared their strategies and advice to help navigate this challenging journey. Sergio Radeo_ suggests aggressive shooting for limits up to NL200, with a micro stop-loss of 2-3 buy-ins. He also mentions that the transition to NL50 was particularly challenging, requiring 5-6 shots with constant shortfalls and relocations.

Ilya KARACHEVSKII advises having a reserve of 60 buy-ins for mid-stakes to withstand the worst dispersion. He notes that above NL1k, it is sufficient to have 40 buy-ins and reasonably bankroll hunt with a clear assessment of one's strength. Ivan A_NAVI40K_K typically allocates 5-10 buy-ins for focusing on a new limit, but only 2-3 buy-ins for excursions under a good fish.
