i have a question regarding 'moving up'. i'd appreciate a vet's opinion - preferrably a pokerstars sng'r, but all are welcome.
i moved to ps march 1st, and just hit 400 sngs. i play 12+1 six-seaters exclusively. the format seems to suite my style of play.
i'm currenty enjoying an ITM of just over 41%, with a ROI of 18%.
i want to move up....but - the next 6-seater level is 35+3.
q1: IYO, to what degree could i expect a decrease in success...based soley on 'better players'?
q2: what kind of bankroll would be necessary to make the move? is there a standard thought on bankroll vs. buy-in?
with a daughter i college (community thank god!), i've been withdrawing monthly, leaving a $200 start bank. any advice on a magic number to handle 35+3?
one more thing. for those that had made a significant jump in buy-in - did your game play/style suffer at all initially? the few times that i've dabbled, i noticed a shift from tight-aggressive, to xtight-passive. perhaps its just having the knowledge that my bankroll can't support the endeavor. a short-term phenomenon, or just ball-less?
thanks for your time.
