$34 or $57?

i am winning at $23 regularly now on ps after joining this site. made over $1k in a week. thanks to all the coaches with these so helpful videos. i am almost done viewing all the standard contents and will continue to study the premium contents. iam thinking to move up a level. any suggestion on which level to go $34 or $57. are the players pool that much of difference? or mainly is bankroll issue. any tips please.

Just move up to the 34 and if

Just move up to the 34 and if you still feel comfortable, and have the BR to move up again then go ahead. I just read your other post saying that your roi has jumped to 21% since joining the site. While that probably does mean that you have improved you wont be able to maintain that roi over a decent sample so i would make sure you are a winner b4 moving up unless the money means nothing to you.

They're almost identical from

They're almost identical from skill level, however ...$55's is the first level where you could actually make some decent money by playing full time, so you see some good regulars on this level.  The vast majority of players are fish, but you could lose a lot of money by running into good regulars. If you do not earn their respect in the first match you play, they'll sit you over and over again.Most of these regs are beatable, but they can put you into a lot of tough spots, especially when you're new and not used to it.I'm also not sure whether you played a lot against super aggressive (fish) opponents on the $23, you'll definitely see more of these when you move up to $33's.So I'd suggest you move up to $33 first and once you're comfortable and have the bankroll for it (I'd really recommend having 30 buy-ins for it), take a shot at the $55's.

thanks for the advice. i just

thanks for the advice. i just played a winning player on $23 with 7% roi stats. i noticed right away that he likes to 3bets my pfr alot. he 3bets like every other time when i do raise.so my adjustment was to tighten my pfr and  lower my 4bet shove range and try to discourage him to 3bet that often. few hands into 30BB levl picked up 55 on the btn and i min raised to 60 and he 3bets to 180 and i 4bet shove and he folds. few hands later i picked up AcJc on the btn and i raised to 60 and he 3bets again to 180  and i 4bet shove and he called and turned over Jh9h and my hand hold. normally i would only shove AQ+ when we are still deep.is this the kind of super agressive player you are talking about?

I dont think 30bb is that

I dont think 30bb is that deep. I think at that level min-raise folding/calling 3-bets with low PPs and A9-10+ can be a big leak (not saying that is what you are doing just in general). Sounds like you adapted to the guy very good by 4bet shoving lighter + tightening up pre.
