    I forgot who said it.....but, "keep your same minimum bet but increase your max bet." Or something like that.

    It simply have little meaning if you are going to go back . You can probably lose all of it back plus some more. it's been over 400 hours i have not win anything. I lose 80 + max bets 400 hours ago and have not recover yet. then another 200 hours ago i had a 70+ max bet lost in about 10 hours(2 sessions) . Sandwiched in between I had approximately 80+max bets win that took about 200 hours .I am still 50 max bets under EV.

    You should definitely start playing $25 tables but take a cautious approach. The main benefit to these higher limit tables is you will find more heads up games, which are anywhere to 3-6 times as profitable as a crowded table. With your bankroll I would probably max out @ two spots of $100 or less. Two spots of $100 is fairly aggressive but still safe... but you will have a tangible risk of ruin. So you will likely have to wong or back count fairly aggressively. On the other hand if you can get a good heads up game @ a $5 table then there is absolutely no point in playing $25 minimum unless the conditions are better.
