Boys, take a shot at the 2/4
 

This isn't going to be a boring stats post you are used to read. I'm going to explain to you why you should try to jump up from the microlimits.

I've played Poker for about 6 months. I started out at the Party 0.5/1 tables without a clue how to play. I probably lost 500 at those tables. Then I played some more, came on to bonuswhoring and played quite about breakeven poker with the bonusmoney. ~40 days ago I bought SSH and decided I wanted to try my skills at 2/4. The games doesn't differ much, here's my results:

So all you guys with big enough bankrolls, take a shot, leave the bonuses AND become better players winning more and more!

Nice job, but I am still learning to get better in 1/2. Once I learn to become more agressive (im at 1.10 now), I will try to make the jump.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I jumped straight over 1/2 [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I [censored] hate 1/2. I cannot wait to get to 2/4. What is the point of my posting this? I don't know.

Go to 2/4 now, the difference in skill is practically negligable. All you need is good table selection.

I don't have the roll. I almost never bonus whore because I play so rarely. All those bonuses that you need to clear in x days are out of the question.

Is there a way to get pokertracker to show your results in graph form like that or did you make it yourself?

Re: Boys, take a shot at the 2/4
 

Go to the pokertracker forums and put "pokgra" in the search function.

That leads you to the program the OP (Original Poster) used to make the graph.

Why does 1/2 have such a terrible reputation? I've noticed that sometimes the games are looser at 2/4, which doesn't make any sense. At the same time, it's not sufficient to explain the terrible reputation. What gives? The only thing I can think of is that there are lot of tight players at 1/2 who just don't have the money for 2/4, whereas plenty of bad players with more money are willing to play higher. 1/2 is purgatory between the fish ponds of .5/1 and the more varied tables of 2/4 and 3/6.
