Basically this is the only time anyone with any sense moves above their bankroll.
Apparently you play $100 HU games, so im assuming you have a biggish roll. (if so, stake me!) lol
If you cant afford to buy into a game for $500, dont. Your obviously winning at a lower level, and moving up is dangerous. Yeah you might beat him, but other players at that kinda level are always better, and theres at least a couple of sharks at that table, dont think just because they are loose preflop or something, means you are the best player.
Obviously you could sit, play tight, and wait to take him on and stack him. But thats also risky. You might get a 2nd best hand and run it into the nuts. You might get some bad beats. You might get beat by the donk.
Basically be sensible. Bankroll manage, i dont mind you moving up for a bit, as long as you can afford the loss and be prepared to come back down if your shot doesnt go well.
