Default Is it just me or are the $11s on stars MUCH harder than the $5.50s?

I've been beating the $5.50s pretty badly and consistently for weeks now and thought it was time for me to advance. Well I just played 6 $11 1-tables in a row and have yet to break 5th place. Seems like the people are a hell of a lot better. More than I had expected from such a small jump in price. Is it true or am I just experiencing the ass end of variance?

Before you get nailed by someone else, 6 is not much of a sample size to make a judgment about how hard a level is.

This isn't even the ass end of variance. The ass end would be like 5x worse than that.

I forgot to mention that I've played more of them in the past sporadically and have never fared well. I just wrote it off as me being afraid of a higher limit, but after indulging in it some more it just seems like the players are better. I hardly ever get to limp anymore and my steals never work =/

Yes, the $11 tournaments are slightly tougher, but not nearly so much that you can tell from the results of 6 tournaments.

You should be playing at least 20 games to find out if you can play g00t at this level.

I've put up with your crap for a while. Even defended you. If you're serious, you need to stop giving advice until you know what you're talking about. If you're trolling, just go away. And trust me, you don't know what you're talking about.

I just checked tourney notes and I have 26 10+1s recorded. 2 seconds and 2 thirds. That's it. 12 of them are on stars, where I've only placed 2nd once. This is such an extreme 180 from my 5.50 results. I don't get it.
