Should I move up?

Hey guys, long time reader first time poster. I just started playing online again(I lost my first 25$ a few months ago) after reading some books and refining my game alot. I recently put 25 on pokercs.com and after about a week I'm up to 130(10/25 cent games). Do you think I should try moving up to the next stake(25/50) or should I stay at this level for a bit more? Thanks.

If your asking if you should be playing NL50 with $130 then NO!!!!!!!!!!!. With $130 you should be playing NL5

lol.

$130 is a good bankroll for about a tenth of the stakes you're considering moving to.

sry, by moving up to NL(25/50) i meant NL(25/50 CENTS)

Yes. So did we.

With $130 you should be playing NL 2/5 CENTS.

why would i play 2/5 cent if i more than quadrupled my money at 10/25

No, actually, yeah, you're right. 2.6 buy-ins is more than enough for NL50. Knock yourself out.

EDIT: Found the link I was looking for. Read this: Basic Bankroll Management

lol. 2/4 cent seems so minute considering I made so much off of 10/25. you guys know more than me though so I will listen to you

you're probably good for 1-2nl honestly. just buy in a little short and go for it.
