Hooloovoo Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I know there's a lot of suggestions to be found about moving up but i would like the opinion of experienced PL players :) I am playing small stakes Heads-Up NL SnG's, and have been thinking about general guidelines as to when it's a good idea to move up a level on the buy-in ladder. The following statement needs to be completed: "Yep Hooloovoo, you could move up when you have a bankroll of X buy-ins, an ROI of Y % and a number of Z games played!" So let me know what you think! What values for X Y Z would you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadlydaveLDN Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Re: Moving up? I cant answer your exact question, but I would say the most important thing about moving up is that you need to be prepared to move back down if you are running bad, and the bankroll drops.

BAM Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Re: Moving up? I dunno for heads up as the swings must be greater and I dont know many who play HU sng on here but my suggestion would be X = 40-50 buy ins but that would depend on your ability (ROI%) Y = any positive % is good but I'd say 10% is very good for HU Z = who cares! if you have X and Y in place why bother about Z?

Hooloovoo Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Re: Moving up? if you have X and Y in place why bother about Z? Because the ROI is not very reliable if the number of games is too low. Thanks for the input tho :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Re: Moving up? I'd expect the swings to be less in HU SnG's than in ordinary SnG's with the same buy-in. You'll be cashing more than half the time (if you're a winning player), so you're going to have shorter losing spells than in normal STTs.

BAM Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Re: Moving up? Because the ROI is not very reliable if the number of games is too low. Thanks for the input tho :) True but if you have enough roll to go into a level and you have a positive ROI why worry about number of hands. Obviously if you have played only 10 hands its a bit skew!

billy the punter Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Re: Moving up? I think you can get away with less buy-ins. 25-30 would be my thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanfaz Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Re: Moving up? I'd say that 30 should be enough with HU, easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
