I tried a similar post in another forum and was told to try here. About how many hands with negative results do you need to play in order to consider busting yourself down to a lower level? And equally...how many hands or hours do you need to consider taking a shot at a bigger game if you are killing it at your current level? I play mostly live and I know there are poker programs for online players which track all this. But I always thought about 150 - 250 hours of live play and really killing the game is a good sample to say try taking a shot at a higher level. I am trying to be realistic about some of my past results and need help determining which way to take my game.
