Interesting. Somehow, I don't think I'll be jumping to 2/4 just yet though [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Here is a question...
How I did in my last 1000 hands would not be involved in the decision. If I were forced to pick one or the other, I'd flip a coin, which would be only slightly more irrelevant, but whose meaning would be far less misleading.
If I found myself inclined to include the results last 1000 hands in my decision making, I know I'm on tilt. It's like looking at the gum on the sidewalk to firgure out when to cross the street. Base your decision on a demonstrated win rate over a significantly large enough sample size, and having the bankroll to back it up. Also, if and when you do move up, I would recommend not skipping 1/2. Yes, Party 1/2 sucks, it's full of rocks who ABC'ed their way out of .5/1 but don't have the skill or the stones for 2/4. But, if you want to keep moving up, you are going to run into the same types of players, except they will much better and the stakes will be much higher. It's important to fine-tune your rock-crushing skills on your way up. Otherwise it's like spending all your time at the driving range without ever learning how to chip it out of the rough.

[ QUOTE ] For that matter, why not move up to 15/30? Make your money back quicker. [/ QUOTE ] usfman, What a stupid thing to say! I'm fairly certain the difference between play at .50/1 and 2/4 is much closer than .50/1 and 15/30. 15/30 would virtually be a different game whereas 2/4 would not. Thanks to the other posters who took the time to respond with useful thoughts on this matter! Kindly, EZ [/ QUOTE ] Look. My post was only an extrapolation of your thought process in the OP. You didn't mention that you thought the games were similar, only that you could win back your money quicker. Sorry if it seemed asinine. Seriously, to move up based on very short downswing seems ill advised. First, you don't know whether your downswing is luck or skill driven. Second, if you're not prepared for the game you move to, you'll keep that downswing going not reverse it. To answer your question, I wouldn't base my move up or down on 1000 hands but if I did, I pick moving after I'm winning. Why? Just because is the only answer that's truthful. Any other makes faulty assumptions based on a short term result.

Re: Here is a question...
Given only those two options, I'd go with "last 1000 hands have been 100BB win" but not because of the numbers 1000 or 100.
My plan is to move up a level when my BR has increased by the same factor (0.5/1 --> 1/2 when BR doubles). If I hadn't already made the move to the higher level before the 1000 hand 100BB loss, then I would not be moving up afterwards -- got to earn the BR back. (didn't have the higher BR before the loss so I sure don't have it after) If the last 1000 hands were positive 100BB, and that was the sufficient amount to double my BR, then I move up a level. Also, I've got to be relatively happy with how I'm playing -- not just on a lucky run of cards. Dave
