Default Friend Destroying $11s, should he move up?

Right now my friend is beating the Party $10+1s for 41% ROI with an ITM of about 52%. He 4-tables as well. His bankroll is a little over $8,000. Would you recommend that he move up? What level should he be playing?

Thanks in advance.

This is so obviously a joke, but I REALLY don't want it to be.

If this isn't a joke, you made my WEEK.

He should play the Step 5s and turn his 8k into 80k!

I disagree, I think he should step down and play the 6s. I wouldn't want to play with anything less than a 1200 buy-in bankroll.

He should definitely quit his job, though.

He should play the 50's for a while if you are serious, then move up to the 100's.

Sadly, this is not a joke. My friend is a very talented poker player, but is probably the most risk averse inidividual on the planet. I made this post in the hopes that he would realize how ridiculous he is.

He shouldn't be playing poker, then.

He can't be good AND be risk averse.
