Moving up

Last night, I surpassed the seven million dollar mark in play money. I've won nearly two million playing sit and gos in the last 3 1/2 months, predominantly at the $50,000 buy in level. The time is right to play for higher stakes. I've decided to move up to the $80,000 buy in tournaments. For fun, I took a look at the amounts I would have won had I played exclusively at specific buy ins, with the same results of 66 firsts and 67 seconds out of 350 tournaments played; here they are:

 $50,000 buy in: $2,125,000
 $80,000 buy in: $3,498,000
$150,000 buy in: $6,777,500
$200,000 buy in: $9,095,000

Of course, there's no guarantee that the competition isn't stronger at the higher buy in levels; but by the same token, there's also no guarantee that it isn't weaker! On to pastures new.
