Should I move up? NLTRN

I started with $200 and now I'm at roughly $400.

I ran at 11.5% ROI for 500+ games at the $5 level. Probably higher if you only count HU $5 games.

The math doesn't add up because of bonus $20s, losses playing cash games/other SNGs.

How do you gage when to move up? Would you recommend me to move from $5 to $10 HU games?

seems like you have a decent roi at the 5$ husngs and i highly recommand moving up...400$ bankroll is more than enough for the 10$ hu sng tables.

If have have kept a ROI above 10+ for 500+ games (if you are unsure you can probably use sharkscope, PT or Tourney manager to make sure what your ROI is), then you should definitely move up and take a shot at $10's yes.

good idea to move up here.
40 buy-ins is really enough there and the 10 s arent much harder than the 5$s

lol. Yeah, moving up can be a stressful time if you haven't done it much.

I went on a horrendous losing streak the first time I moved up. The best advice is to take it slow and think things through. Your $$/hr will suffer at first from playing slower, but you'll have a better ROI, and you'll get the confidence to get back into your normal game quick enough.

i have been playing way below my roll for about 350 games while i try to learn HU NL SNGs.

i wish i could say i had a strong ROI to justify moving up but for now it's just grind and learn until i can try to work my way out of the kiddie pool [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
