I finally completed my 1,000th sng at 55's. I told myself at 500 that I would complete 1000 before deciding if I was ready to move up to 109's.

Here is my histogram:

1st 136 13.6%
2nd 127 12.7%
3rd 117 11.7%
4th 108 10.8%
5th 138 13.8%
6th 98 9.8%
7th 111 11.1%
8th 64 6.4%
9th 62 6.2%
10th 39 3.9%

ITM 38.0%
ROI 17.7%

Two other points to consider:

1. I just last Friday got a 20" LCD so I have just moved from 2 tabling to 4 tabling this week. I have found no problem with the adjustment, but realize that it may drop my ROI slightly.

2. I believe my long term ROI is higher than my results. My first 420 was 25.5%, the next 200 was <font color="red"> (13.6%) </font> , and the last 380 have been 25.6%. I was running bad, but I also found two major leaks of passive play in that downswing that have been fixed. I believe my long term ROI will be over 20% at 55.

I know that most people want to go to the next level when they've proven that they can beat the current level, but my gut tells me that there is little reason for me to leave the 55's. Should I move up?

I'd 4 table the 55s for a little longer and see how you handle that.

4 tabling 55 should be more profitable than 2 tabling 109s.
