Have you ever been nervous about moving up in stakes? How did you overcome it?

I move up when I lose, I also move up when I am winning. However, when I move up no matter the reason, I am always afraid of my decision. I have not been able to over come the fear of moving up in stakes

That kind of fear is normal. The first time I considered moving up on my stakes, I kept calculating every possible looses that could happen in my head. The funniest thing is that fear itself can make you play even worse. That's the danger in it.

Moving up in stakes when you're on a losing streak is usually a bad habit, even if it works out in the short term. More often than not, it leads to bigger losses and puts unnecessary pressure on your bankroll. It's generally better to move up when your bankroll and results justify it, not when you're trying to recover losses.

I think it's a pretty common feeling. Even if you're doing well at your current stakes, moving up can feel intimidating because the money means more and the competition often gets tougher. I’d rather move up gradually once I feel both my bankroll and confidence are ready.
