1. How do you know when you are ready to move up?

When you're beating the current stakes and are sufficiently rolled to take a shot.

2. I would like to move up by contiuing to play two $.25 pl/nl tables and adding two $.50 pl/nl tables. Is this advisable or should I only play one limit at a time?


[/ QUOTE ] Different strokes for different folks. I usually 2 or 3 table the limit in question when I move up.

3. I know that the suggested bankroll is 20x the buy-in. Is this 20x the MAX buy-in or just 20x the amount you actually buy in (E.g., if I play $1 NL, $100 max buy-in, on line and buy in for only $50 is a bankroll of $1,000 ok)? Is the 20x figure an absolute minimum? Is there a better number? Should it be a bit higher when you are entering a new limit?

[/ QUOTE ] It's really an issue of comfort. I'm happy playing on ten buyins and moving down for a bit if I lose two or three. Others like to be more conservative.
