Moving up checklist

This has been lifted from Sirnebs Blog and original from a 2+2 poster. Is a really good list of what skills you need for each level. Based on this I am almost ready for 200NL but I want to take things a little more slowly.

"first off you should never view it as a quantum leap kinda thing. just take little shots when you feel comfortable, have the money and are good enough. here's a hand waving yardstick:

try 50NL when:-
you're confident in your preflop game
you understand position
you have a good idea of their hand by the river
you have an ok feel when to continuation bet
you have 500 or more

100NL when
you're confident playing draws
you can spot good semibluff opportunities
you can lay down AA/KK unimproved
you're attacking the blinds in easy steal situations
you have 1200+

200NL when:-
you're ok betting your stack on a draw
a PFR from you doesnt always mean AA-JJ and AQs+
you're starting to play one hand while holding another
you have more than one mode
you have 3000 or more

400NL when:
you can ID profitable preflop steals
you know how to pick between b3b and c/r- position factors heavily into your play
you're good at manipulating pot size
you have 6000+

1K NL when
your lines don't define your hand
you're good at playing and winning lots of small pots
your oop opponent must hold a strong hand to win a pot from you
you understand the real math of the game at least at a basal level
you have 20000+"
