Basically when I start playing again, due to my break from poker, I will be practicing bankroll management. When do you think it is appropriate to move up. I know the 10% rule of thumb. Here are 2 options I'm considering.

1. Move up in stakes when br management is being followed at all times. Example: starting br $750, play three 25NL tables until I reach $1k. Then play one $50NL table and two $25NL tables. Move down if roll drops to $750.

2. Move up in stakes when I can consistently beat a certain level. By consistent I mean playing no less than 10k hands and showing a positive gain. Again, only moving up when the roll supports it.

Option 1 is being physically able to move, Option 2 is geared more towards the mental aspect. Option 2 brings me to my next question.

I will be using PT. About winrate per 100hands/BB won per 100 hands. What should these numbers look like if I'm cosistently winning at 25NL playing no less than 10k hands.

How many hands do I have to play in order to spot leaks. And what sections of poker tracker should I be looking at to spot these leaks. Can I find everything in the "more detail" button in the general info tab.

What about the won at showdown percentage. Is that important? Because usually when hands get checked around to the river and you stay in the hand with ace high, you just muck your hand to a pair of 3's. But that counts toward your showdown percentage. Is showdown percent something I should be concerned about?
