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.

Hey all. I've been playing mobile poker apps (PPPoker, X-Poker,PokerBros, ClubGG) for a couple of years, mostly in Asian clubs.Built a comparison directory at poker-catalog where I track rakebackrates, club traffic, and agent reliability. Happy to answerquestions about the mobile poker world — it's a niche mosttraditional poker players don't know much about.
