Hi, I'm new here and I need some advice.
I've started playing texas hold'em on the net 6 months ago.
I've read a lot about the game and played alot with fun money and I guess I play tight/agressive most of the time.
I started out with $10 and played a lot for a month or two at $0.50/$1 at Expekt.com and ended up with about $200 and cashed em out and took my girl to a nice dinner. After that I didn't play for some months and about 3 weeks ago I started again with $20 this time.
Now I've got $150 and I'm winning some almost every day.
What should be my next step? Should I get into next level, $1/$2?
Should I go for nolimit games? Should I try playing 2 or 3 games at the time, speeding it up a little?
Should I just wait and start loosing cause I can't win all the time, right?
Or should I cash out and take my girl to a new restaurant? 
Hope to get some good advice here!
Thanks,
Z.

It really depends what you're looking for from poker.
Are you playing to pass some time, have some fun, make a lil spare cash here and there. i.e. do you see it as a hobby?
If this is the case then sure, go ahead, play a lil and treat your girly with the profits, nothing wrong with that and you wont lose your life savings in the process (probably?)
Or, do you see yourself playing poker for a living in the long run, making enough money that you can give up your day job. Do you see yourself staring down Howard Lederer? re-raising Jonny Chan, picking up the cash from a wsop or wpt win?.
If this is the case i would say invest your winnings, move up a level, try some multi table tourneys and basically play a lot and get all the experience you can.
