    Every time you move up you'll experience the same thing. Every loss will seem bigger at first because it's like 2x what you would have lost at your previous stake. The important thing is to remember that regardless of the results or the size of your bank roll you have to continue to make the good decisions. If you start being afraid to stick your money in because you don't want to take another hit to your BR it's time to move down.

    i think its like Donachello said, loses seem a lot bigger then they use to, maybe its just a psicho thing, lost 4BI in 2 days thats 20$ in 5nl and that seems for now a lot comparing to 4BI in 2nl which is just 8$. i have no worry for my BR, i havent moved up at exactly 100$.

    i did it with 130$ so 26 BI for 5nl, i am still over 20 BI for 5nl, if i drop to 80$ i will go down and start grind up 120$ again before going back to 5nl, although i hope i wont have to

    but i have seen some diff in 5nl, like flop reraises which in 2nl mean TP usually, but here i bumoed in 2 pairs and sets, some folded some rocked me, i seen that they understand a little better implied odds, cbet flop is usual and they here in 5nl accept it and call it more often then they did in 2nl, so turn reevaluating is more important then 2nl,also calling ranges are wider here, on 5-6 BB preflop raises ( i do that AQso+ and JJ+) i get called often with high connectors so i have to watch out for QJ, KJ, J10, boards when i hold only hold TPTK or overpairs, also i have noticed that betting lines are more liniar , i mean they minraise flop with set, 2pair or draws, its harder to read the opp. the same thing with open raises, they do it more often in MP and LP with connectors and i think my 3 bet should include now AQso+ also, not just JJ+

    anyway, i will get used to it, or it just seems now to me a little strange, hopeffuly 40 days from now i will be up to 10NL
