Within like .25 bb/100?

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.

Its not really about how many hands. If you want to move up as fast as you can, move up as soon as you have 300 BB. Only you can really tell if youre good enough.
