[AKQJ10]

[ QUOTE ]
I usually liked to stay at least 10k hands at a level before moving up regardless of bankroll.

I would disagree fairly strongly with this statement applied to the true microlimits (sub-Party limits like $.02/.04 and .05/.10, I mean). If you have objective reasons to believe you aren't just clobbering the game as a statistical anomaly, then you're probably ready to move up.

For example, I decided I'd learned all I could from Pacific's .05/.10 after 27 hours (probably about 1000 hands), +202 BBet, 7.5 BBet/hour. It would be ludicrous to say that I need to put more time in, even if it might be unlikely that I can consistently beat any game for 7.5 per hour. I can certainly beat a game where 7 and 8 are seeing flops, so I don't think there would have been any point in racking up 10k hands there.

I know RED_RAIN probably had bigger games in mind, but I'm just saying.... don't apply that advice, or any advice, unthinkingly
