I have been playing only $5.50 S & G's for about 3 months now. I started with $40 in the account and up to about $206 now. Is it time to move up to the $11 S & G's. My sharkscope graph is below. Some of my major slides are from too many tourneys in a night as I have trouble leaving the computer when I get on a bad steak. ( I just wanna cash once tonight dammit!!! LOL )
Ok, so I can't figure out how to get my graph on here but if anybody would look it up thats cool. Player name is Deuce Blue and i pay on Sportsbook. ( as I said I'm up to $206 as sharkscope has missed a couple of cashes of mine )
Thanks!!!

It depends on how many you play at a time and your ROI I think. Might want to ask in the SNG forum.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

You started out way underrolled for $5.50s, but luckily you didn't go busto. It seems like you've made a lot of money, but 20 buyins isn't a ton to have for a new level. What you can do is take a couple shots at $11s but don't make them your main game until you have a few more buyins for them (I like 30). Playing a few $11s here and there will give you a chance to increase your BR faster if you win, decrease the damage to your BR if you lose, and give you some experience at a higher level a little at a time.
Some people also suggest playing one $11 for every $5.50 that you win; you could try that method too.

I'd wait till u have 30 buyins minimun if your just playing for fun.
If your serious about it and don't want to go bust or want to have to move back down i would go with at LEAST 50+ , 30 buyin downswings DO happen.
