Hey all,


So I’m a microstakes player at 5NL. I’ve been following some strict BR management and recently invested in some poker tracking software. Without getting too much into my personal poker details, I have a question about moving up stakes.


I understand the concept of having a certain number of buy-ins in your bankroll before considering moving up to the next stake. But, what about hand sample size and bb/100? Let’s say I have won enough at 5NL to surpass my BR goal of 30 buy-ins at 10NL, at what time is this valid? Meaning, at how many hands played at a positive bb/100 at 5NL am I ready to move up? 5k hands? 10k hands? 20k?


Thanks! GL at the tables!

it depends, are youre stats fluctuating (going up and down al the time) ore are they creating a pattern (hopfuly upwards) if it's the last, go on you're reddy; if not wait a bit longer till you've got more then enough to lose a bit in higher games. Like always in poker be patient.
