and they havent moved up because...?

to me, moving up when poker is your sole source of income seems like the scariest thing imaginable. Especially if you went pro at the low end of the spectrum (100NL) and you need every penny to pay the bills. Maybe not the smartest long term decision, but professional poker probably isn't either.

Just playing devil's advocate here... I haven't seen anyone at 100NL that i could point at and say "that guy is definately doing this to pay the rent". But i HAVE seen a couple guys that could, and for all i know might be doing just that.

if they need every penny to pay the rent, they need to play more hands/week, period. then when they move up they can play less hands and make more money.

anyone smart enough to make a living is going to be smart enough to build a bankroll when moving up even one level (from 100 to 200) can drastically improve their $/hr.
