Default Re: How bad were you crushing the 11\'s when you moved up to the 22s?

I understand this statement. It looks like we're both making no assuptions about this function while most others are. I'm saying if there's any component of added fun in playing the higher buy-ins, to hell with bankroll. Go nuts. Yours is a complimentary argument that if it isn't any more fun to play at a higher level, why waste the extra money?

I don't like seeing people tear into another poster for a statement, that while somewhat poorly explained, is actually quite a well-crafted piece of advice coming from a poster who clearly understands the inner workings of variance.

To add something hopefully useful for the OP: I'll say what others have said. Don't worry about specific numbers for ROI or bankroll in deciding when to move up. Most of all, make sure you are psychologically comfortable playing the 22's before trying to make a permenant move. Give yourself some room to fail a little (15 buy-ins is my number) before you decide to move back down.
