why do i win more at 15/30 and 30/60 than 5/10?
 

I don't understand this. Why do I win more at the higher levels? I think it is because there aren't as many stupid fish!!!! I mean at 5/10 and 3/6 people always suck out on me. I'll cap it preflop, and then check-raise someone on the flop with AA and they will hit a runner-runner straight to beat me! I think I should just play at the higher levels because this doesn't happen and you can actually bluff people and they will fold when they have runner-runner draws instead of always sucking out!
What do you think? Should I move up permanently?

Your sample size at the lower limits is too large. Play fewer hands at those limits and post your numbers then.

Wow. Maybe I should have just skipped the 10/20 like you and I would be rich now. I think I will put myself on the waiting list for the 100/200 game right now.

Ignore these sarcastic replies. The truth is that it's much easier to win money against better players. That's why the better players are all losers.

well i don't think i could beat like phil ivey or gus hansen but it would probably be easier to beat them than beat all 9 people that see the flop at 2/4. that's why 15/30 is better because only 3 or 4 people see the flop and then you can bluff them

I mean, are you serious? People respect your raises more.

I took like infinity bad beats at $25 PLO8 so i moved up to UB 50/100 nl. After my wife left me I won a bagillion dollars. The key to my victory was a 3rd table and my well respected raises.

Can someone transfer me $1 on stars?

This is correct.

When you are playing 5/10, people will chase with stupid stuff like flush draws and straight draws, because hey, it's only 10 bucks. Once you get up to 30/60 though people think "Man, I'd really like that flush draw but I'd really like for my wife to get her hair done" and they lay it down.

Get that PFR% up.

Edit: Seriously.

I think that you need to play way more hands before you can feel confident that you will win more playing at 15/30 or 30/60. That being said, i too win more playing 10/20 or 15/30 as compared to smaller limits and i'm not positive why either. I thought the same as u for awhile, because there aren't as many stupid fish; however, Sklansky will quickly point out that these stupid calls should make you money in the long run, but for me it doesn't seem like they do!
