Well put XD.  Holdemchamp, if you're baning every time you sit, or almost every time (cold card runs notwithstanding) and your bankroll can sustain the higher swings, go ahead and make a move.  Just don't stay there and throw good money after bad if you get your ass handed to you.  There was a good thread a couple days ago about when to walk away, you may want to look it up for some advice.  Since I'm too lazy to look and link, ill paraphrase it.

Howard lederer has a rule of thumb given to his sister Annie Duke when she first started poker for a living.  Only take a 30 BB beating at one sitting.  Any more than that makes you voulnerable and lowers your table image.  If you stick to this, or some variation close to it, you shoud be fine.

I personally use the bankroll management rule, which most estimate between 200 and 300 big bets for a comfortable limit, much more than the BB/hr rule.  If I am making money and I can get into a soft game at a higher limit and win, I will.  I won't go broke trying, but ill gamble anyway.  It has been profitable for me in the past.

I don't recomend it, but I [I]have[/I] played beyond my limits/bankroll requirements in the past, a la Matt Damon in Rounders when he sat with Chan at the 300/600 table with only 6000 dollars.  Now I haven't done anything that drastic, nor have I played with Chan, but you get the gist.  Above all, have fun with it.  Don't move up just to have to worry about losing your roll.  You seem to enjoy the lower limits and do well, moving up can be much more fun or much more headache.  But I think you'll do fine.

Also, XD....17BB/hr!?!
