    After how many games at a certain level should a person play before moving up in stakes? Do you guys play a certian number of them or wait till your bankroll is decent then jump up in levels?

    I wanted to play 500 20 dollar SNG's then if my ROI was over 10% then move up but I was wondering about how you guys would do it.
    Also how many buyins do you want before you move up?

    I am a professional player and I was thinking about 50 buyins for the level I was playing. I am 75% a cash game player nl50-nl200 but I enjoy the SNG's on stars for a change of pace.

    Thanks in advance

    I'm pretty sure that at a 10% ROI if you're a professional you should keep more than 50 buy-ins. 100 sounds better to me. Anyway it's only when you have the bankroll AND are comfortable. Take 10 buy-ins and play at a higher level and see how you do.

    yeah it depends though... do you want to play them to make a living or just for the hell of it?

    i agree though closer to 100 buy ins than 50 is a better idea...

    Basically I want to have my sitngo cash on pokerstars because I hate playing ring games there because of no Rackback. I will take out 200 a week for bills and and let the rest build up. 75% of my play is in ring games so this is like a little side project to see where it will lead.
