    what would be a good BB/100 hands?

    im a avg cash game player that play 10/25cents full ring and i have a 2.6 bb/100 according to PTR (obv brag but not really)

    i have this bb/100 over a sample size of 63k hands

    should i be moving up? or just stay at this limit? and i have a current BR of around 700

    I think you should probably stick at .10/.25 until you grind up a roll of like 1k-1.5k, you have good results but from what I've read you should have atleast 20-30 buy ins for a certain level.

    ok, is it BB or bb? Usually I see BB used to signify Big Bets and bb used for big blinds. Big Bets are simply 2x big blinds. Don't ask me why most people think of winrates in big bets, I didn't make it up.

    That said, if those are in terms of big blinds I'd say that's a relatively meager winrate. It is likely indicative of some fairly large leaks in your game, but on the bright side you're still a winning player. It just means you can be winning much more.

    700 would be about 28 buy-ins for your level. Generally I prefer to have about 30-40 buy-ins for the level I play so I can feel comfortably rolled. If you move up you really do not have much margin for error and a swong of just 4-5 buy-ins would force you back down to 25nl. I suggest trying to improve on your winrate and not really look to move up until you have at least 1200-1500. gl

    if youre usin PokerTracker then its big bets/100. If it is then a number of 3 or larger is considered good. A big bet is double the big blind, so 6 big blinds is considered good. 63k is a pretty decent sample size as most people say that 20k gives you a decent idea of how you're fairing at a certain level.

    however i would never let my bb/100 decide whether i move up a level or not; i would always say its my bankroll that determines it. If you have at least $1k then move up as 20buy-ins is all you really need to beat the low-medium stakes. However, this is just my comfort zone, everyone has their own comfort zone - if you feel uncomfortable move down, if you feel pretty comfortable and you feel like you're doing well then take a shot.

    Hope this helps :)
