As someone who almost stricly plays $5.50's and $11's on 'Stars I can tell you that there isn't a whole lot of difference.

You'll be paid more often at the $5.50's with your good hands and you can use a little more fancy play at the $11's....but otherwise there isn't a lot of difference.

I've run into plenty of good players at $5.50 and plenty of bad players at $11. I think there are a lot of $5.50'ers who win 4-5 at $5.50, have about $40 in profit and go and blow it on 4 buyins at $11 cause they were lucktastic at the $5.50's...they do this in spurts.
