Bankroll for no-limit

[Cloud]

I've been playing no-limit cash for around a month now, and found i was pretty successful - making 8 big bets per 100 hands at the level of $0.10/$0.25 - played over a thousand hands. I've now moved up to $0.25/$0.50, and started that with a bankroll of around $300 - now up to $380. Is there a general rule of thumb as to how many big blinds you should have before thinking about changing levels. I was thinking of trying to reach $600 before going up to $0.50/$1 - is this realistic??

Re: Bankroll for no-limit Well done mate :ok (though 1000 hands is a pretty small sample!!) I think the general idea is to buy in for a maximum of 5% of your bankroll. What do you sit down with? 100x BB? In that case, your Bankroll should not fall below 2000x BB - I would say therefore you need to get to $2000 before moving up!! (indeed with a bankroll below $500 you shouldn't even be on $0.10/$0.25). I think the 5% is pretty adventurous too!!!!
