is .25/.5 *that* different from .5/1??

[RustyCJ]

Just started playing poker again after a year off, been playing the last 3 weeks at .25/.5 at Stars and I've made 600BB in that time.

So I started playing some .5/1 full ring at Party the last couple of days and it seems like there is a big difference in the 2 levels of play.

in the .25/.50 game at Stars there are often 5-6 players to the flop and quite often 3-4 still in at the river.

with about 500 hands now at Party .5/1, I notice *maybe* 3-4 to the flop and many times the turn and river are HU.

Is this typical for this level of play at Party or did I just hit some tight tables?

As a side note - I started playing online in 2003 and played off and for about a year with about 50,000 hands played at .5/1 at Party, the games there seem to be much tighter than what I remember.
