Do you plan to skip 1/2 altogether?

Yes, though I'd probably drop to 1/2 if I found myself struggling at this level. I understand from advice on this forum and elsewhere that 1/2 is pretty tight - basically a training grounds for 2/4.

When I hit the BR necessary for 1/2, I had just come off an amazing run - I made 300 BB in a week on < 2,500 hands and had 10 consecutive winning nights. I felt I really couldn't base my success at .5/1 on that run, and decided to continue playing at that level. About this time, I also bought PT and got some experience using its tools.

I felt better about moving up levels once I hit 20k hands @ .5/1 (I had about 10k under my belt before tracking stats) but now I was closing in on being able to move up to 2/4. I decided to play a few single table sessions at 2/4 while multitabling .5/1 or playing NL$25, and I found I could hold my own.

And then I bonus whored $100 from Party, and suddenly I've got the BR. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
