Default Why does 25NL suck so much??

I play strictly 1-2 Limit online. I have started incorperating some 25NL tables into my game because in a few weeks I will be back at college and know that the only games around will me small stakes NL. I have been playing online and the games are not profitable. Everyone tries to limp in with everything for a quarter. If you raise even a dollar people fold. The only time peopple go all in is with a pocket pair! I just don't get it.

You've forgotten something important. It's called postflop play.

(And if everyone folds preflop every time you raise to $1, the games should be very profitable. But they don't.)

It doesn't. Small stakes NL is extremely profitable.

If that was the case, my answer would be to raise more often.
But in the countless hours I've spent there, I can tell you that my standard raise (higher than 1$) has been called regularly, many times by more than 2 players.

Stick around a bit, try late nights perhaps. When a table seems too tight for your liking, change around !

If you like to compete with better players, try some NL200. It doesn't SUCK as much.

That hasn't been my experience. I suspect you're playing NL like Limit which won't work.
