If you been successful playing poker to certain limit, will want to play for more money. Especially if you are a winner, the possibility to gain two or three times more is very attractive.
Nevertheless, before doing it, you have to assure you that your "bankroll" (your banking, the money that dedicate al poker) is sufficient for more expensive departures. For example, if you play a departure of $2-4 Limit Hold' em, should have a "bankroll" of $100 to $1000 to avoid of arrive at the bankruptcy in a bad gust of wind. To play $20-$40 you should have a banking of $100 to $12000. That is the money dedicated only al poker, does not include the rent or the daily expenses.
In Hold' em Not Limit to pass from a departure of "blinds" $1-$25 in an initial purchase of $100 to another of "blinds" $3-$5 with an initial purchase of $300 is a gigantic step. The ascents before the "flop" are two or three stronger times in the last one and after the "flop" many times you have to play you all your put on file. It can be devastator for your "bankroll",, if you have not acquired the ability and the necessary experience to change of level.
Having the "bankroll" necessary to a change of level does not signify that is in your better interest to do it. The departures return more difficult when they are more expensive. It is better to expect until be a constant winner in the level that are playing. A good serious motivation to expect to gain the "bankroll" sufficient in the departure that these playing now to pass al upper level.
A good counsel: when you pass to a higher level of bets and realize that these losing, do not expect to be broken to return to the departure where gained. Simply not yet these it prepared to face you players but experienced.
