I've been playing tournament poker with $200-$500 buy ins with avg fields of 350-10% payout for about 5 years.
My win rate has increased the past 3 years and I don't know if should move up in stakes and start playing the $1k and main events in the circuits.
These are my win percentages for the past 3 years:
-15 tournaments played per year
-Cash 34.2% of the time
-Final table 22.9% of the time

This year I can up my poker budget to $10k, should I give it a go or wait till I'm cashing 50% in the smaller tournaments and play more of those this year?
