Hi there, so i decided to give it a shot at taking poker more seriously, I topped up $100 in may, since then i have had very mixed results. So i managed to run up my $100 bankroll to around $250. here is my 1c/2c 6 max reg graph

So with 50 buyins and a lot of confidence i decided to hop into 2c/5c expecting it to be a breeze, lets just say it was not!
People float a lot more, you cant just bully people off of hands, way more regs, less fishy loose games.
With my hand sample im not sure if i'm losing at this level or just having some bad veriance, To be honest im unsure, my hunch is that i am just running into some high veriance spots and just running bad, but maybe i am slightly winning long term. That being said there is deffo a big skill jump from 1/2c to 2/5c.

Here is my embarrassing graph from 2c/5c 6max reg

Losing $90 and my roll taking a big hit i took a few weeks break, then decided to come back with my remaining roll of around $160.
I dropped back down to 1/2c and ive tightened up my game a lot and lets just say ive been crushing

So my question is, should i move back up to 2/5 with 40 buyins take maybe a 10buyin shot, or should i just grind to $500, so i am properly rolled for 2/5?
I am currently out of work due to sickness so i am time rich at the moment, but not money rich.
thanks for reading this. Jay.
btw sorry about my grammer

Your goal should be to get out of the micros as quick as possible but with a gameplan.

You definitely want to shot take when your bankroll meets a certain amount but you need to be diligent in moving back down if you blow through your shot.

Once you hit 30 buyins for the next level I would take a 5 buyin shot to see if you can stick it out.

Trying get to 100 buyins at each level is going to be exhausting.
