I'm really not trying to be a snob, I promise. but in regards to games in public cardrooms and on the net, I stand by my assessment that .50/1.00 players are going to be on average much weaker than 5/10 players.

theoretically I agree that it shouldn't matter, but practically this is not the case. I've played plenty of $50 NL on party and played plenty of 5/10 games. there is a sizable contingent of players that plays small stakes capped buyin NL and basically don't know how to play at all. at 5/10 (at least in the games I play), you basically almost never see players that clearly don't know how to play.

I am sure there are exceptions, especially in home games. I've played some tough, very deep 1/2 home games before. but, those are the exception and not the rule.
