When Do You Move Up?

[SirFWALGMan]

I really think if you have a 300xBB bankroll and are beating your current level go ahead and move up. There is really not much difference between .50/1 and 3/6. I would take a shot at it if you can handle the swings. Just make sure you have 600 bucks!

I play NL.

When I move up, it's more than just getting a large enough broll...

Usually it's a combination of playing a lot of hands at my current limit (at least 20k), with a nice winrate, and finally having a large enough roll.

Then, after I've done all that, I'll do a temporary move to 'test the waters'. If I get owned or suffer some serious bad beats, I'll move back down to rebuild my ego. Then try it again after that. If after a few times you start to feel really comfortable at the higher limit, make a more long term move unless you lose like 12 buyins, then move back down to rebuild.

It's especially important to move back down if you don't intend on redepositing with other funds, because if your bust your roll and have to start from scratch... it's no picnic .

PS. whatever you do, don't rush yourself. Patience is rewarded in this game . GL

Just like to add that I think 20 buyins is a good roll, I like to go with more when moving up to handle a few bad swings and for an 'adjustment' period. If you're at a limit you crush, then you can do well with less.
