Hi ElSapo,

If you like playing $1/$2 and can afford to, why not play it? I’m doing the moving up thing as well. I would caution you not to stay at a table if something makes you uncomfortable or you start getting frustrated. Go find another $1/$2 table to play.

Also, pick out a couple of the players who are giving you the most trouble and really key in on their play. Watch their showdowns; check the hand histories to see what makes them tick.

As far as beating $.50/$1, I don’t think it proves much beyond an extreme tolerance for boredom.

Also, you can always drop back down to $.50/$1 for sessions here and there. I play everything from "play money" to $.01/$.02 to $3/$6.

Best of luck,
