After about 15000 hands of party 6max 5/10, I'm making >2.5BB/100, generally multitabling 3 hands. I really like my profit here, but I obviously would love if I could pull down anything close to that BB/100 in 10/20. I have the bankroll for this, but my question is about the methods to moving up...I think there are a few options:
1) Move up immediately to 10/20 6max, playing 2 or 3 tables at once
2) Continue multitabling, but have 2 5/10 games and 1 10/20 games
3) Play just one 10/20 game
4) Move up to 10/20, but start 10handed.

I feel like a major reason I do well at 5/10 because I actively use PT's export notes feature to select games with fishes, but I can't do this as easily at 10/20 because I don't have notes on most of the players. So I'm wondering if I should try to get the notes as quickly as possible in terms of actual hours (option 1) but suffer from poor table selection, or slowly work my way into it. Also, the obvious problem with option 1 is the huge variance involved...

I guess what I'm asking is for suggestions from people that jumped from 5/10 to 10/20 - I'm not expecting to make 2.5BB/100 at 10/20, but if I could make 1.5, that would be a profit increase of 20%, not even including the lower rake % at 10/20.

Thanks in advance for any input
