Courtie, let's make this the taking shots/moving up thread to replace stickified stuff.

Here are my thoughts on moving up/taking shots:

***This if for someone who cannot reload their acct and may not be a good player yet***
1. I would log at least 10k hands at each level
--If you are committed this could be just 1 week of play
2. I would start taking shots when you have 20BI's for the higher level (i.e. $2k for 100nl)
3. I would move up permanently once you have 30BI's for a given level
4. Finally, only move back down if you only have 30BI's left for the lower level.

Using this strategy I have never had to move down in a level and have constantly been moving up. 30 BI's may seem like a lot for a level but that's for a permanent move. That gives you 15BI's of variance if things do not go so well to start.
