LOL

You defnitely need to play more at .50/1. At least do 10k-15k hands there and then post your stats to see if they are in line with everyone's recommendations.

Sounds to me that you have a no-brainer. Drop back to .50/1, and bonus whore to build your BR. Only when you are consistently beating the .50/1 game should you consider moving up to the next limit.

Yeah, .50/1 sounds about where you need to be. Once you start making 2+/100BB consistently, you can think about moving up to 1/2. The worst thing you can do to yourself (well, poker-wise, anyway [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]) is to play at a level that your BR and/or skill-level can't support.

I got delusional about my skill-level after a few decent months of playing at the lower levels and lost most of my BR after moving up to 5/10 and 10/20 for a few weeks. I reassessed my situation and realized that I could easily make $100 a night playing 3 tables at 2/4. Once I get my BR back up to $1500+ I *might* consider moving back up to 5/10...but even then I think I'll be happier with the easy money that the lower levels bring me.
