Grinding a limit vs Moving up

I also have this problem. If I move up to $60 the variance is too big, I don't need 4-digit swings daily. So I am just content grinding and trying new games.

I started MTTs recently, try some low stakes there fun and if you manage to win its gonna be a bang! I also started alittle PLO, its hard but when I'm bored or ran super cold I do that.

Are we missing EV? Nobody knows unltill you try. I keep hearing from other ppl even at higher stakes there are fishes but just less. And better regs are there obv.

Cash game is different story, nl100 is close to unbeatable on stars ♦

edit: I also started some 6/9max STT's lately to test/improve my game for MTT purposes

Well it really comes down to if your happy with your current hourly. There is really nothing wrong with being comfortable with a certain limit and just grind out the $$$.

Personally i've been playing nl50/100 cash for a while now and just grinding it out. Its probably not max EV but its low variance and I'm really overrolled for those limits which means its a lot less stressful. Im also comfortable that im beating that games at a good WR over a big sample.

I don't know really why ppl don't move up but i think it has a lot to do with just getting comfortable on a limit and happy enough with their hourly to not want to take on extra stress by moving up where they winrate might drop, their downswings in $ value can get 4-5 times bigger and it might not even give you that much better hourly.

Also to take into account is that if you grind nl100 you can play 24/7 365 days a year and it wont ever take you more then 5 mins to fire up 24 tables or just zoom it up and get the volume in. If you play high stakes your forced to play at prime times since that the only time enough games are running.
