Default When to move up?

I see the most common answer to "when to move up" is "when you're crushing the current game."

Well, what does that translate into in NL?

Currently I'm playing at $1+.10 buy-ins at UB and finish in the money roughly 2/3rds of the time. My ROI is easily in the 30% range.

The next jump is the $5+$.50 games. I know the game won't change that much, but I'm nervous about the change in risk -- i don't have a huge bankroll.

Should I just keep at the $1 tables until my bankroll is some multiple of the buy in for the next level (if so, what multiple?) Or does a few weeks of daily winning suggest I've learned what I can learn at this level and I should move up before I learn too many bad habits that only work 'cuse the other players are worse than me?

Thoughts? Advice?

Default Re: When to move up?

the FAQ covers everything you want to know here. basicly:

20 - 30 buy ins is basicly whats suggested.

you say you have a 30% ROI, what sample is this over, is it an estimate?

if its accurate, you should move up, but only if you either have a bankroll to support it or you're willing to make a re-buy if it all goes wrong and you lose it all.
