Why Can't I Move Up?

Play where you feel comfortable, there are swings and if the money means so much that a downswing at a higher level will shatter your emotions just play at a lower limit until you feel comfortable. the money obviously means more than it should.

The players arent that much better when you move up, it just becomes more rare to find a chip spewing money donator.

It's the old cliche, you never know until you try!

I was somewhat in the same shoes as you for a time, I deposit $200 with $100 bonus and play .5/1 for about 5 months up to $1600, I give 1/2 a try and lose about $300 in about 1000 hands, it devastated me so much I quit for about 3 months. Decided I was going to reread SSHE, Came back and redeposited the money and jumped right in to $2/4, Have been up since but not without some violent swings (both emotions and bankroll) but I laugh at the idea of me ever moving back down to .5/1, 1/2, no way.
