That would be $2/$4 I just moved to, not $1/$2

If you're almost exclusively a small stakes player, why do you hang out in the mirco forum? Curious because I've just moved up to the grey area of $1/$2 but find myself coming back to the micro forum to read more than I go to SS.

I'm in the same boat, I been at 2/4 or higher as my main game sine mid-May, when I was learning the little bit about poker that I do know, a large portion of that came from players who posted here, but played higher. Most of those posters have moved to other forums and don't frequent micros much at all.

I figure if I can help some people in the same way its a good thing, whether or not anyone learns anything from me I'm not sure

I play 3/6 and 5/10 mainly, though 5/10 has been unfriendly so far, I do make occasional stops at 2/4 and 1/2, and still play a fair bit of .5/1 2+2games(though not as much as I did in May/June when I got killed but learned a ton)

I learned a lot from you, bottom, but I don't get much chance to come around much anymore. Your contributions are always appreciated.

I didn't learn much from the 2+2 lagfests except to always bluff 3 bet the turn on a scary board [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].

edit: To answer the OP, I'm now playing .25/.50 and cheap R&A MTTs HE & PLO at Paradise.

i play 2/4 now mainly, and am trying to move to 3/6+ permanently. it would help if luck would be on my side and a player who bets and 3-bets 66 against my 88 on a 2275 turn after preflop gets capped 6 ways and the the flop checks through would not river a 6 against me. it would also help if when i flopped a set with TT on a TK7 board that the guy who donked AJ on an 8 turn would not river a Q. also would help if when i flopped the T high flush the big blind did not have J2 of the same suit. also maybe when i raise aces in the small blind versus the big blind that he would not flop two pair and resexy my turn sexy and i would spew and cap and bet the river. also maybe i would not river top two pair that also completes a straight draw if j00 know what i am saying that would be great. wine, glenfiddich, sam adams winter lager and guiness extra stout ladies.

I like the occasional lagfest, but I would much rather play a serious game, and I played about 2k hands of serious 2+2games over those 2months, they happened very frequent, I must have started a dozen myself. The nicest thing was the games were full of players better than me, I lost a lot of BB's but it really improved my play. Its unfortunate that players like Entity make to much money to still be able to play .5/1 seriously(though I'm happy to see players like Entity killing games for lots of dough).

I do get the occasional I'm going to 3bet for the hell of it at the games now, but for the most part I still play Agame at the tables, hopefully I'll be able to say the same a yr from now, I'll always be partial to micros

I'm currently digging my way out of a 150BB downswing at 1/2 on Party. I won about 50BB of that back this week!

.50/1.00 limit (full and 6-handed), primarily at Party; clearing bonii I'll play UB, Bodog
$50 NL at Party
Lots of NL MTTs at Stars ($5-$10), and a few at Party
$10 - $20 SnGs at Party and Stars when I'm in the mood

I am currently working on my worst game - 6-handed limit and am getting hammered. Sometimes I think I should just give up and play NL and limit full, where my win rate is much better (where I *have* a winrate), but the improvement to my postflop play has been tremendous.

The general plan is to beat 6-handed .50/1.00, and then move up to 1/2 full. BR is way ahead of my skills at this point so it's OK.

3/6 fullring with the occasional foray into 6max, or 20/2 SNGs if I'm in the middle of a downswing and need to blow off some steam. (all Party)

Paradise 1/2 5-max for another 3000 hands or so
Party .50/1 for the occassional multi-table bonus clearing if it coincides with having a light week
Pokerstars .25/.50 Stud/8, but I might jump up to 1/2 in another month or so
