Time to move up?

[Deuce Blue]

I would love someone to look up my stats on sharkscope and tell me if you think its time to bump up a level to the $11 S & G. I only play the $5.50 ones now and only one table at a time as I am still trying to sharpen my game. My major slides seem to be when I get on a bad streak and I can't get off the computer until I cash at least once. LOL

Anyway, I started with $40 and I'm up to $206 now ( as sharkscope has missed a few of my cashes )

I would post the sharkscope stuff here but can't seem to get that to work.

Player name is Deuce Blue and I play on Sportsbook.

Thanks folks!!!

Hard to say with the small sample size.

If you are playing mostly as a hobby as I do, I believe the most important think is your total bankroll, and how it relates to the buy in you want to play at, and this we cannot see with sharkscope.

Do you have 50 (or 30, or 100, or whatever, depending on the risks you wanna take) buy ins for the 11$?

and read the FAQ, everything was there I believe

In my opinion you should wait until your BR has reached at least $33ß. Then you can take some shots at the $11s. But move right back down when you hit a bad streak. If you cant swallow your pride and are like "Wee I am $11 player now!" it is a recipe for disaster and you WILL need significantly more than that.

Thanks, That what I figured. I didn't see alot of that info was in the FAQ's so sorry to waste space on this question. LOL

I like 30 buyins, but I'm also impatient. You really need to be ready to step back down quickly if you take a shot early. At least have 25 and be prepared to drop back again.

Im a BR nit so i would suggest 50-100. Just for sake of not having to move back down or go busto since 30 buyin downswing DO Happen. I'm waiting till i have 1k to move up to the 16s. I had 1k than had to sell some poker stars monies for real monies (like 150) , to cover some debts i owe people.

I see it the opposite.

A $16 win is something like $60? If you can get to $450 - $500 and take shots, you can quickly blow past that mark as a winning player. If you drop back to say $400 then you drop back to the $6.50s and build up again. This should get you to $1k faster with minimum risk.

Detroit you are way too nitty, the $16s are a step up from the $6.50s but you have more than enough skill to beat them. I'd make the move up with 50 buyins ($800) and potentially a bit less. I held myself back by not moving up sooner.

Taipans a BR nit too .
