Why aren't some of you sharks moving up?

I noticed that a couple of people in this forum (mainly xorbie and theworstplayer) post advice in the mid/high stakes forum and your advice seems to be as respected and well-received there as it is here. So my question is why are you guys still playing 25NL and 50NL when you certainly have the ability to play at the higher stakes. I mean, you guys are as knowledgeable about poker as a lot of the people on the mid/high stakes forum who regularly play 1000NL. Is it because you guys can make more money 8-tabling 50NL? Is it a bankroll issue?

im pretty sure both of those dudes are playing at the 100nl maybe the 200nl.

SSNL goes up to 600nl in most peoples opinions.

I don't post that much advice on the MH forum because I am nowhere near as good as most of the posters on that forum. I mainly chirp in on the NL400 hands and occasionally point out when someone is being an idiot on one of the other ones. And I play NL200 now and will be moving up to NL400 shortly. My plan is to move up as quickly as I can given my limited amount of time to play poker. I am 100% constrained by bankroll.

Mostly bankroll. I, myself, just suck at poker.

What the hell's happened to you, man? You must have taken some hellacious hits recently, to be going on like this.

This is almost exactly my situation. I used to have bad problems with tilt and taking shots at higher levels plus I've withdrawn some of my winnings and original deposits so my roll right now is only like $2000. I normally play $100NL by the way.
