Default Re: Variance is a bitch, I have to drop down, when can I go back up?

In total I have over 12,000 hands registered, accounting for the various limits played. PT has me listed only down $76 but I lost money other times playing on the other PCs.

FWIW just because you have the bankroll doesnt mean you should move up. 12k basically means you are still learning and to be blunt, unless youve learnt quickly you probably arent ready for 1/2 which is a grinders limit and not an easy limit to beat. Personally ive always tried to play 10k hands at each limit before moving up and i wont move up til I have a decent winrate. My motivations are probably different to yours so if you want to move up then move up....but just be aware that doing it because you have the bankroll for it isnt necessarily a great reason. Also variance is usually only part of the problem. It is easy to play bad/differently when you move up and it is also possible that you just arent quite good enough to beat that limit yet.

Online sites should allow players who are sitting at a table priority to switch seats when one becomes available, like allowing a waiting list for a specific seat for players already seated. They do that in the casino in a sense.

I dont think this is a good idea as it can make fish feel nervous when everyone clambers for position on them which can often make them leave. Youll also get situations when people are constantly changing seats just because they can and it could become a game of musical chairs.

Table selection is a critical skillset that is underutilized in the micro stakes world. It is at least worth 2 bb/100 in my opinion.
