Knowing when to give up

How do we know when it is a good idea to stop shotting a limit? If every shot you take at a limit fails, when do we eventually stop shotting that limit and just stay at the stake we have a winning sample for.

Does this mean we just should never play higher than that stake? Can we never improve beyond this?

Assuming your technically strong enough to move up, in my experience you should stop shooting the higher limit when you have some hard evidence that supports you're playing worse than you do at the lower one. Look for pots you usually play right, but played wrong b/c of the increased pressure.

Solutions to break out:
-take shots with a deeper BR
-get staked
-clarify that being afraid of the high limit is not benefiting your growth, so you can drop the assumption that playing from fear is somehow intelligent.
