I don't really post on 2+2, it's filled with tools who go around not reading anyone's posts but their own. I like BBV because it's straightforeward

I made a little over $400 in the last 10 days (+/- 10000 hands) in $25 and thinking its time to stabs $50NL .
My BR is almost big enough : +/-$700

You are running as good as I'm running bad.
700 might be enough to take stabs at 50NL so long as you're willing to drop down if poop happens.

Look forward to seeing you. However, I play full ring so maybe not.
50NL is just as soft 25NL on Full Tilt. My biggest downswing since moving up is -$115, but I still finished up $20 by the end of the session.

Well, in 2 days I'm down $200. Almost 10 buyins.
Everytime I think, "thats it. I got it. I might be able to actually make a living out of this" something like this happen.
Now it was a combination of coolers and bad play.
for example :
My AK getting reraised. I call OOP and flop a K and continue to call almost PSB to SD (His A's held)
My J's got reraised - flop QJT. I c/r he push. I think from the 4 hands he could have I'm a real dog to one, have 10 outs against the other and in front of the other 2. He had the AK and I didn't improve.
My A's got cracked by a set of 8's: Simply kept calling my near PSB on a draw heavy board.
So ouch, need to lose my arrogance and start playing solid again. Today I couldn't fold the worse hands, and couldn't get any value from my good hands.

I don't know if you are playing full ring or 6 max, but you should always bet more, and call less. If you are playing 6 max, you have to look for reasons NOT to raise from in position. If you are representing the hand have you, and someone re-raises, don't be playing for your stack. Learn how, where and why to bet-fold on any given street.
Focus a little more on table image, specifically yours. You wouldn't believe how good it is to just always bet at pots if you are given the opportunity. I'm not talking big bets, but just making constant bets at unraised flops, especially blind vs. blind situations.
You have to make lots of small bets preflop and on the flop. You have to make biggers bets on the turn and river, don't be afraid to bluff twice if you have to - it helps your image and takes down nice pots.
Your opponents will put you on a wide range preflop, and then basically just be confused and scared of your play after the flop. Nobody likes dealing with a good aggressive opponent. You will make a little bit or break even if you are good at the bluffs, and you will get paid big time when you actually hit a hand.
Keep in mind, this is 6-max strategy, and the other strategy is do not play full-ring.
