Whats your roll at now? Do you think you'll be moving up to 16s in the near future?

[/ QUOTE ]$800+ but dropping at the moment. And I need to cash out some next week.

I'll move up after I have 1000+ $6.5s and a %15+ ROI. I'll also want around $1000 working bankroll.

Just interesting that the probable reason this thread exploded was cause at the start a few people decided to say "decided to be a pro and quit your job?? Awesoooome!" lol

You stated that you would be playing .05/.10 NLHE along with PLO and SNGs in your original post, what happened to this plan?

[/ QUOTE ]I moved up. I can beat the PLO at the .10/.25 and I have the bankroll for it. I have yet to establish a resonable win rate at the $6.5s though.

Sounds solid, I moved up with 50 buyins ($800) and it definitley can be rough if you don't start off with some good sets. I'm not planning to ever move up to a higher level without 100+ now but thats probably excessive for lower levels.

Not bad to wait till you have 1k+ 6.50s, but if you build your roll to $1000+ well before that its probably safe to assume your beating the level at a high enough ROI to let you move up before you hit 1k games. It'll only lead to a higher hourly rate assuming you are still beating the games.
