What stakes are there less than .5/1 and where?
What other sites are decent and offer limits less than .5/1. I currently play Party Poker, but I've seen others talk about .25//5 games and less. I'm just curious as to where these other sites are and if going down a level might be worthwhile.
sincerely; walkdoc

Re: What stakes are there less than .5/1 and where?
Stars has as low as .02/.04, Prima (Gaming Club, Royal Vegas, etc) has .05/.10, .10/.20, and .25/.50, I think Pacific has as low as .02/.04 or .05/.10 and same with Paradise. I'm guessing UB also has something similar. Going down a level or two is a good idea if playing .5/1 is too high for your bankroll. Otherwise, those games are probably only a bit easier than Party .5/1, so if your bankroll is enough I'd probably stick to Party.

The stakes are lower, but you will see a lot more 4-bets. I really don't think it'd be worth your time playing anything less than $0.25/0.5. At levels lower than that, most people don't even really care I think.

Pacific doesn't run .02/.04 or .10/.20 any more, they have .05/.10 and .25/.50.

Re: What stakes are there less than .5/1 and where?
Walkdoc,
I am a regular .5/1 player who started at Party and I often drop down in limits to work on aspects of my game (lots of aspects need help). I heartily recommend that you sign up for Paradise Poker and using the GRANNY 50% deposit bonus. (PM 2+2 username GrannyMae who can tell you all about it or look somewhere here in the classifieds.) Paradise has limits wayyyy down low. When I need to work on my aggression, I play on the un-raked .05/.10 tables or the .10/.20 tables. When I just want to have fun, I play on the .25/5 tables, etc. I think there are even .02/.04 and .01/.02 tables too. The key thing is that Paradise has solid software, good support, and a good reputation. I have deposited and done a cashout with no problems. I am not an affiliate or anything like that. I just like the Paradise software and support, plus I'm thankful to GrannyMae for the bonus and the cookies. The sloppy kisses were awkward and a bit aggressive for my taste, but $100 is $100, ya know? Oh, and let me add that you can clear this bonus (which does not expire) playing .25/.5 at their site. Any raked hand with a pot over $5 counts. Since the bonus doesn't expire and you get it in $10 increments, you don't have any pressure or worries about clearing it, if ever.

Re: What stakes are there less than .5/1 and where?
Thanks everyone. I'll check out the sites suggested and work on some of the bonsuses. Obviously, I won't drop down below .25/.50 as per the suggestions.
I also find that when I play free money on Party Poker that people seem not to care and just raise for the hell of it. It seems that this may be the case for .2/.4 and .5/.10. I want to learn at all levels, but often people would rather just throw their money away. Hopefully they'll throw in my direction! ;-)
