Difference Between .5/.10 Vs .25/.50

"My fustrating at 0.05/.10 is caused by the chasers not folding no matter if i checkraise/Bet to protect my hand(Giving them poor odds)"

This happens at all levels and is a GOOD thing. You want this. This is how you make your money. The general consensous at these levels is to forget trying to protect but value bet more.

I have found the Pokerstars .25/.50 very beatable...I have won over $100 there within the last week..I think you'll be fine with that bankroll.

I "took a shot" at .25/.5 when I had ~$90, you should be fine, the game isn't that different.

Never understood this "Value bet"?

People seem to say "value bet" in micro posts when im 90% sure the post lost to say a Flush or something?

Maybe i'm totally confused? Where can i find a explanation of "Value betting"?

I have SSH? I shall check the index.

Getting Pokertracker with GT+ will help you out extremely..it's worth the purchase...not only for reads, but for your own playing as well.

Value bet is typically betting on the river when you think your hand is a favorite (but likely not a large one) and you expect a caller. Of course we can bet for value when you flop four to a flush etc and bet it.

.25/.50 is crushable i was at 8BB/h after 10,000 hands there playing about 23% of the flops at pokerstars that is how i biult up my bankroll fom 50$ so just it should take u a bout 2 months to have a few hundred.

I play between 3-400 A day, I think the only delay moving up is:

Bankroll (Varience hit me, Droped 100BB($10) lately,
COnfidance - 25cents/50cents is BIG CASH to me.
Results orientated - I hate seeing my money drop, i try not to be.
My Skills: Not 100% confidant im playing good poker, When i go to stars ill post hands though.

Thanks all

I started at .50/1.00 and just dropped down to the .25/.50 and it was a good move. There are alot of people that will go to the river with K40 and Q5o hands. Looking at PT I noticed that hands worse than 3 of a kind are a net loser. That being said I have a + BB/100 on the .25/.50 and a - BB/100 on the .50/1.00

I play at both Paradise (for the GRANNY bonus of 50%) and Poker Stars. They are both equally loose and it is pretty easy to find a table where 65% are seeing the flop. The one problem with Paradise is that you have to keep switching tables to stay at a full table.

Hope that helps.
