Sure why not? You get screwed playing $5 SNGs because the $1 fee equals 20%. You're much better off playing $10+ games where you only pay 10%.

In addition, there isn't much difference in playing ability until you get to the $30 and above tourneys.

You're in the money 24 out of 35 times, so it's going to be hard to tell you to leave that type of earning.

I would suggest that if you try moving up to the $11 tourney, see if you can make the same amount of money in 35 tourneys there. I think that's enough tourneys to be able to tell if you're ready for the $11 game on a permanent basis.

I don't think jumping to the $33 tourney is the right thing to do just yet, as my experience is that they aren't any better, but there are fewer really bad players, so you have to beat 2 more people per tournament, and that might bump you out of the money enough times to stay in the $11 or $6 games.

Sure. Move up ... you have enough money in there now that you can afford to take a shot at more expensive ones. Just make sure that the players are still aweful at the higher limit and don't take huge leaps up. Move to a $10+1 game.
