    At what number of bb/100 hands is it time to move up to the next limit? What sample size of hadns is required to make the statistic meaningful? Sorry if this has been posted before, I couldn't find it in the archives, if so please post a link to the thread. -Thanks

    id say 10k hands would be a good sample , but the more the better , also u should be running at 8 bb pt/100 or better.

    I wouldn't say there is a certain BB/100 that is a magic number for when it's time to move up a limit. You should move up when you're comfortable sitting with the amount of money for the next limit up and confident enough to play your best with the extra money in front of you. However, you'll probably want to win at the next level up so make sure you're beating the lower of the levels handily, at least 5BB/100 over a pretty big sample. The key is in comfort and confidence. If you can't handle losing 3 buyins at the next level up or if you're not confident enough to put the full buy-in in play if you have a good read then by all means stay at the level you're at.
