Geek. What's worse is that it hurts me to see it without units.

Any rough estimate how many someone would need to determine if they should move up a level? For example, I'm just starting to play limit having only played NL to this point. Starting at 1/2 6 max, but want to move up as fast as possible. How many hands do I need to know I can beat a level before I move up?

20,000 is always a nice, round number. Or do it the old fashioned way, give yourself a 300 BB roll for 1/2 and then move up the next level everytime you have 400-500 BB for the next jump up.
