Yeah take a few buy in shot at 100nl. I'd say 20 bi's is enough, and you have 28. Generally I'd grind till i have 20 BI for the next level, and play till I lose 3, and then move back down. This is called the 20/17 rule, its a fairly aggresive bankroll management strategy, but as long as you are willing to move down, you will never go busto.

As long as you're not playing for your rent money, it was safe to take shots a long time ago, and at this point, you should just be moving up.
