Silver Level
Lets say we have two players who want to grind SNGs. They both are new to SNGs, both plan to start at the $1 + .20 9-seat tables, and both have a starting bankroll of $60 (50 buy-ins). Their bankroll management plan is to move up the next level ($2 + .25) when they have 50 buy-ins and drop down when they have 45 buy-ins.
$2.25 x 50= $112.5 - $60 = $52.5 in profits before moving up to the next level.
Player 1: Grinds out the $1 SNGs for 3 months. After 1000 games, he has $52.5 in profit and moves up to the next level.
Player 2: Goes on an absolute hot streak and wins 16 games in a row. $4.5 (1st) - $1.20 (buy-in) = $3.3 x 16 = $52.8 in profits.
Now, each player has met their BRM plans and have the proper BR for playing the $2 + .25 SNGs, but does this mean that player 2 has enough experience at the $1 tables to move up? Or should he still remain at the $1 and play more games?
If volume is a factor when moving up stakes, how many games should a person play at a level before moving up? Assuming, of course, that their bankroll allows them to move up.
