Move up???
 
Should someone playing 3/6 with a winrate of 1/100 on a sample of 80k hands and a 15k$ BR move to 5/10???? Or
try to get a better winrate before moving up stakes???

Start playing 5/10 and good games of 10/20. Or rather, play in good games anywhere from 3/6 to 10/20. Your winrate might be higher at 10/20 because of the smaller effect of the rake.

Move up if you have the bankroll and feel you're ready for it. Or just take a 100BB shot and see how it goes.

Your winrate over the last x hands is pretty much irrelevant. I was a .5 BB winner at 5/10, when I moved to 10/20.

Good lord! Move up!!

Dont wait for good winrates at lower high rake levels.

You have plenty of roll for 5/10 and even 10/20. Those games arent that much tougher than 3/6 when you adjust for the lower rake.

it's not a one-way ticket. Give it a try. Good luck!

Does that mean you had a $10k roll before you started playing $3/6?

Definitely take some shots at $5/10 if you see games you like. I would be having a look at good $10/20 games ASAP if I were you.

Basically, one needs a 2 big bets per 100 winrate before one can be happy even at the limit one is at but considering the likely tougher games for the US players at this time and a possible rakeback on could have, you might be doing as good as one can do at 3-6. 80K hands says you are not lacking experience either.

In case one is playing somewhere where there are good 3-6 games, at least when picking tables, and the fish stays away from 5-10 or plays tighter there, then the case would be different.

The rake is not any fun at 5-10 either; the limits from 2-4 (not at every place) to 5-10 are pretty bad from the rake point of view, and 10-20 is no heaven either, additionally that it can be considerably tougher than 5-10 - that one might beat but lose at 10-20.
