Default Re: Advise on .5/1 vs 1/2 vs 2/4 party

Don't move to 2/4 just because you have the bankroll.

One of the biggest appeals of the 300 BB rule is that it forces you to play a limit until you get 300 big bets for the next limit - if you're building your bankroll by bonus whoring and not by playing, you'll get eaten alive at 2/4.

Not that pre-flop play is particularly correlated with post-flop play, but if you're playing post-flop as passively as you are pre-flop, I question whether you should even be at 1/2. You need to develop an aggressive streak - and you need to do it as soon as you can - if you have any hope of maintaining a winning poker game (this isn't addressed as you, as I don't know how you play, but just in general).

Also, if you're just following the chart in SSH, you are missing out on a lot of value raises. A hand like KTs is worth a raise from CO with 3 limpers in front of you. If you're passing up these opportunities, you're leaving a lot of money on the table.
