Default Re: Getting ready to move up.

STOP! Dont do it. .50/1 is brainless poker. I've run over 20k hands at over 3.5BB/100. You need to evaluate on why you've beaten this level. Pull out about 500 hands and go through them one by one. Ask yourself: "why did I do this" (regardless of the outcome) and dont rationalize saying that the guy was loose.
1/2 will kill you if you can't figure out your leaks. They will only get bigger and bigger as you progress to 1/2 and you will gush chips in the process. (Also remember is you have to move down...most of those juicy 1st time bonuses that built you 600.00 roll will be gone, then it's hell to try and build it back up again.
At a minimum get over 10-20K hands under your belt, anylize your 500 hands. Post a bunch(Not just winning hands), and post this again when you can show full PT stats (on the post) and graph your play.
I just moved to 1/2 and its like I changed to Omaha, the same Tight/Super-aggro isnt going to cut it. You'll start getting check-raised in your sleep.

Then again maybe you're awesome. But 4-5k hands isnt enough to prove it.
