After I heard from a few people that I should move to 25NL with $500 I played a few hundred hands of 6max 25NL this morning for kicks. I ended up +$25, but I can tell that I'm not comfortable with the amounts yet, so I'm gonna stick to 10NL until $750 or so I think.

That being said the people at my tables were jokes...
I called down 2 big bluffs with A high, both of which seemed to be obvious bluffs for some reason. The only big pot I lost was when I got it all in vs. a half-stack with AKs on an AdQd5h flop and got runner-runnered.
Here it is:

Basically, I'm happy with my progress right now, but I know that if I try to rush into 25NL a few horrible beats could end with my tilting away 1/2 my roll or something. So basically I'm just gonna follow the advice of my boy TheTrees , "Don't rush it, poker isn't going anywhere"
