Thank god for bonuses...
 

Let's me learn at the .5s/1s and actually profit at an ok hourly rate ($30 would suck if I played 3/6+, but it's fine at the .5/1 [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]).

Also lets me put in at least a few K hands before moving up (since .5/1 doesn't pay by itself).

After the 2 pokernow bonuses, intertops, multipoker and empire ($600 in bonuses all up), should have another 5k hands down. No, didn't sign up at those since I'm an SNGer and already have rakeback at party and euro.

BTW, is there much difference between .5/1 and say 2/4??? 6-8tabling .5/1 doesn't make much, where as at least 2/4 will be ok.

J,

I zip back and forth between .5/1, 1/2, and 2/4. I wouldn't say that the play is any different at those numbers. According to PT, my biggest numbers of hands come from 2/4 and the biggest profit margin as well...so don't be worried.

But recently, I've been playing the .5/1 because of the number of players there.

The only one that ever hurt me was the 1/2 (6 max) game...didn't do well there.

Good luck.
