Default Adjustment going from Party $1/$2 to $2/$4?

Is it just me, or is $2/$4 way looser than $1/$2 on the Party skins? At 1/2 it seems like I had more success blind-stealing, isolation raising, etc, whereas now I feel like I'm getting greeted by a bunch of cold calls (or a reraise) every time I try. Anyone else find they needed to tighten up and play more straightforward when moving up to this level?

(Not to be results-oriented or anything, but probably part of why I'm posting this is that I'm down 46BB after a few hundred hands at $2/$4. I know this is just a blip, but I just wanted to plug any leaks before it gets worse.)

There isn't much difference between 1/2 and 2/4 IMO.

I find 1/2 so much easier than 2/4, but it may just be a confidence thing.

After 15,000 hands at both, i'm 1.6BB/100 at 2/4, and 3.5BB/100 at 1/2.

Hell no. Play your normal game and you will be fine.

that doesn't mean anything...it could mean you were a little more lucky at 1/2

Fair enough then...I'll just keep doing what's worked for me before. I had way over 10000 hands at 1/2, so I like to think the luck thing is the other way around. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

If the losing streak goes past 100BB, though, I may rest my fragile ego by moving back down for a while.

Ironically enough, I've found the exact opposite. At 1/2, I'm getting called down all the time, so when I don't get the cards, I take losses - I think all the loose players are playing on the 6-max tables. I actually dabbled with 2/4 after getting disgusted at 1/2, and find I can win much more consistently there, and have since moved up completely. Much better when the loose players are scattered across all the tables like that. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I totally disagree. They play very differently. Some people will have more success at 1/2 and some at 2/4. It's rare, I think, to find someone who was equally successful at both.

Just as an aside, I hated 1/2. Probably -.5BB/100 over tiny sample. I skipped straight to 2/4 early and stuck around 3BB/100.

Bison crushed the 1/2 game. And when he moved up to 2/4 he was a 1+BB/100 player initially. Again small samples.

From the posts I've read on 2+2 the general consensus seems to be that the 1/2 Full games are tougher than the 2/4 games because the loose, action junkies are playing the 1/2 6 max tables.
