About 4 months ago I started playing poker regularly again. I started with $19 I had left in my Paradise account. I started at .02/.04 and moved up gradually. Now I'm closing in on $300 and moving up to .5/1. Well tonight I was looking at my PT stats and noticed I'm only making 1.09bb/100 hands at .25/.5 (10800 hands) and I'm making 5.89bb/100 at .1/.2 (7100 hands). I've also paid twice as much for the rake as I've made at .25/.5. Before I started back up again I'd made about $800 at Pacific and Paradise and a couple of other sites which I cashed out (except for the $19). I built the $800 the same way I made my current $300, starting at the lowest level and working my way up. When I moved from Pacific to Paradise (that is when I got PT) I started at .02/.04 again because I was afraid I was playing way too loose (and I was). So I've never played above .25/.5 except for clearing a bonus at Party and the occasional session at Paradise. So do I need to spend a lot more time at .25/.5 until I have a decent win rate despite my bankroll size or should I go ahead and move on up when I hit $300? Or should I just spend my time playing .1/.2 since I win more there then I do at .25/.5? Or should I take some of that $800 and add it back in and move up to .5/1 and hope for the best? My PT stats for .25/.5 are 16.41 vpip, 30 won $wsf, 39.8 wsd, 47.56 won at sd, and 6.77 pfr. My aggression factor is 1.5 at that level.
