Default Why move up slowly

A standard question is: When should I move up in limits?

Answer: If your a winning player at one limit with an ROI that confirms that. Rule of thumb is 20% for the lower limits.

The big mistake alot players make is move up to quickly if they have a winning streak at the start because they think they are so good because of their ROI of 30%. Then they move up. I see so many players at sharkscope with only hundreds of tourneys playing 109 or higher. May be a couple of them are former party players (sharkscope is only for Stars)who dont like the new SNG-format. But I think most players are not. Needless to say that most of them are losing players.

Over the first 100 SNG of my new 1000 tourney series I had an ROI of 41%. I know that this is ridiculous high (for me, for 2p2 member standard [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]) and that I have a winning streak
(I win most of my coinflips). Do I move up? No because I know that my ROI at the 16$ turbos is less than 20% (over 1700 tourneys). OK thats also a bankroll question. My bankroll is most of the time too low to play 27$ turbos.

In my opinion this mistake is the main for going busto at the tourneys.

i fully agree with you
many people don't understand/imagine that one need to play hundreds of tourneys (preferably 1000) to have a good idea of their ROI
i ran a few sims here
and i understood that I shall wait to have played at least 1000 tourneys to decide to move up. My goal is to sustain a ROI of 25% at 10+1 SNGs.
With only 250 tourneys for instance, there's a real chance that a 25% ROI is in fact only 17-18%.

i think that is way exagerated
yes, the real ROI maybe 0-2% , but with a probability inferior to 2.5%
So it's really unlikely
sure, that MAY happen though as 2.5% is not 0.

Can you show the math? It's not that I don't believe you but 2.5% seems too low and I'd really like to know how you arrived at it.
