It doesn't get easier as you move up. I would be very leery of listening to any advice from someone who thinks the $200 tables are easier than the $25 tables.

You are playing with 8 buy-ins, which is thin but doable if you are a winning player. Get up to 20 buy-ins and hit the $50's. get to $2k, then move to the $100's. Rinse.Repeat.

Be forewarned: All players (good, average or bad) if they play long enough will experience 10-15 buy-in downswings. You want to make sure you have a bankroll that can handle anything variance throws at you.
