there should be a FAQ on this

basically it's better to just take a shot and feel it. you will seldom face a significant change of skill levels between 2 connected levels. For multitablers, try mixing in 1 or 2 tables of the stake you are taking shot in and play normally, and see how you do.

you will most likely succeed.. just keep playing solid poker

I'm suprised you mention mixing stakes at the same time while multi-tabling. Do you not think this can lead to some mistakes and less perfect play?

Multi-tabling ALWAYS leads to less than perfect play, but you multi-table to maximize your EARN, not your play.

With that said, I do the same thing. Have 1 or 2 tables that I'm "taking a shot at" while I have the other 2-3 at my "normal" limit. It has worked out fine so far(despite the downswing I encountered at 50NL 6-max... -4 buyins really hurt!). But this is the best way to get acclimated to the stakes instead of just playing forever at one limit, then just all of a sudden jumping up. It helps when you are used to a $7 continuation bet instead of jumping from a $3 continuation bet with air to a $7 cont. bet with air. It can affect your play.
