[helpmeout]

I also play 0.25/0.50 at pacific. I checked out Paradise and pokerstars and the games are so much tighter.

I wouldn't worry about pot sizes though as someone has already said if you bet they will call. I try to join the very passive games at pacific. It really is crazy when they let you limp with bottom pair and a runner runner flush draw. Now I am drawing out on them instead of the other way around.

So many times I have done this and hit a flush,gutshot straight, 2 pair trips etc and bet out and taken a decent sized pot (20BB+). Adding just one raise on the turn or river with 5 callers makes a huge difference to the pot sizes.

I am sticking with pacific until I get to $300 then i will open an account at party and start multitabling. Of course I wont be leaving pacific the games are just too good.
