Default 22/33 players

There was a pretty extensive discussion a while back about the 33s as a potential stopping point for a lot of decent players. I'm just wondering if there's anyone that has recently made the move from 22 to 33 and what your take on the difference in play is. My bankroll is starting to get to the point that I'm contemplating a move.

Man I swear I was thinking this question not 20 minutes ago.

My bankroll is plenty (I could move to the 50's and 100's if needed be) But I am pretty comfortable crushing the 20's and making good money per night. Now I know that it may not seem like much to you guys but I am still working on my game trying to plug up some holes. My friend who is also playing the 20's and says he is ready to move up thinks I'm ready also but I am not sure I want to move. When do you know for sure that you can move? And how different are the games as the first poster asked from the 20's to the 30's?

From what I have seen the difference isn't huge, there is less complete maniacs andthe game seems to have more player left at level 4/5 (usually around 6 I would say). If you crush the 20s then you'll just have to adjust and not push as often since there is more player left, and you'll be fine.

I play the 50s pretty regularly and due to some bad beats/bad play, I lost a huge chunk of my bankroll. I had to drop to the 20s. I used to play the 30s before moving to the 50s. The 30s are much tougher than the 50s or the 20s. Now that I am back in the 20s, it still amazes me how willing people are to hand their chips to you. I don't think that I'll ever move up again. Why move up if you are killing the 20s?

It's the right time when you don't have to ask whether or not you should move up. Do you see why? (I always wanted to ask that.) Seriously, I do think there is some merit to it. When you're confident enough in your play and bankroll, you won't need to ask.

Take an average 20$-sitngo, replace one bad player by a decent player and you have an average 30$-sitngo.

I've been playing the 20s and 30s for the past few days and have noticed very little difference.

Thx for the feedback. I think I will continue to crush the 20's for another month or so. Move to the 30's in mid May.

I don't see why this is such a huge question on the forums lately. No one on here can accurately tell you if you are ready to move up because they simply have not seen you play at all or very little. I think the best way to gauge "if your ready" is to try it. The way I did it was to mix in a 22 into my 11's when I was quad tabling. I would do this until I was consistently winning at the 22s or I felt that I was ready to take the full plunge. Anyway, thats my suggestion and I am surprised no one really talks about easing into it like that.
