Default Re: How do you know if your good enough to beat a limit?

Stats: A 50K hand sample is *decent for judging how well you play. I'd suggest posting your stats in the HUSH forum and getting feedback on the stat you do have from 5/10 and other limits you've played in.

Bankroll: I wouldn't play 5/10 with anything less than $2500 unless you are a very skilled player. Even then,you can still have a 10K hand losing streak. Bankroll will unconsciously play one of the largest rolls in how you play when stepping up in levels.

I am a winning player over 100K hands at 5/10 about 2.4BB/100. However, every time I go on a losing streak I step down, or switch over and play some lower limit Omaha Hi/Lo. It ALWAYS works that when you are taking a lot of bad beats, day after day, you will play worse. People say they can avoid this, but I find it very hard to nearly impossible to do. I typically stop multi-tabling and play 2/4 or 3/6 until I feel I am back in full control, then will step up again.

If you don't already read HUSH like the bible, you should take that up as well.
