Should I move up in limits?

[CliffLee]

Thanks to pokertrikz, I've managed to build a bankroll multi-tabling 25nl and am now rolled for 50nl. However, I was looking at the 'average pot' and noticed that there was barely any difference in the amount of the average pot between 25nl and 50nl- at times it seems that the average pot in 25nl is actually higher!

My question is should I still move up in limits? I mean, what am I gaining from moviing up? Maybe I'm missing something (which I probably am) but it seems I will only be risking more money in 50nl to win pots of equal amount to that in 25nl. I do want to play 100nl or 200nl one day so I guess I should factor that into my decision, as I will need to progress through 50nl in order to reach 200nl I imagine.

Please let me know your opinions.

But people don't seem to be sticking as much money in the pot in 50nl compared to 25nl. Well at least that appears to be the case on Everest.

Which site do you play on?

I play on stars where the games are assumed to be tougher as on the smaller networks, and even here there is a big difference between the potsizes of each limit.
One thing I noticed tho is that the av. player/pot decreases. I may find 20 games at NL25 with >45% ppl in the pot every hand, but at NL50 I find only a few.
But that are the things you have to face when moving up, games get tougher, your winrate decreases, variance increases and you have to table select more. You will still earn more money, rakeback, promotionpopints, w/e.
If you are rolled for it and feel ready for the shots, do it. You won't evolve as a poker player if you're stuck in the micros forever.

The blinds are doubled, they're forced to put more money into the pot.
