How many buy-ins before you should consider moving up or down stakes?

I believe the standard rule for micros is 20-25x the buy-in before moving up, and down stakes for tourneys, and SNG's.
Not sure how it works in cash games as I typically don't play cash, so I haven't read up on bankroll management for cash games.

Poker Catalog

Hey all. I've been playing mobile poker apps (PPPoker, X-Poker,PokerBros, ClubGG) for a couple of years, mostly in Asian clubs.Built a comparison directory at poker-catalog where I track rakebackrates, club traffic, and agent reliability. Happy to answerquestions about the mobile poker world — it's a niche mosttraditional poker players don't know much about.
