It's a two part answer

1. Enough hands to prove you are a winner are limit X before going to X+1

2. Enough hands to build an adequate bankroll for X+1.

I figured as much, but how many hands is enough? 5k? 10k? 100k?

IMO there isin't a number...if you play 10K hands and are up a bit, but took a ridiculus number of bad beats and feel u are dominating your oppoenents moving up is ok.

PS you have to be stone cold honest w/ urself and know strategy well here or else u go broke.

If you want a pretty acurate mathamatical representation of if you should move up it is probably around 50-100K hands, but often people should move up by the other system 1st IMO.

i move up when i have 225bb for the next limit and move down when i get to 200
