OK bear with me here - another poker post. I recently went up a level at my online cash game. At the casinos I have always played 1-2, despite some of the other good players at my table telling me I could hack 2-5. They are there for the same reason I am though - to pick up the loose money. Most people who don't know what they are doing at a casino are at the 1-2, not the 2-5. But online I had been playing the ultra low limit $.10 -.25 game. I decided to move up to .25-.50 because I didn't feel like people were "doing what they were supposed to" at the lower limit, which makes it harder for me to actually win when I have the best hand cause the random 6 on the river might make their crap hand the nuts, and also because Jeff rightly pointed out to me that .10-.25 was the highest game at the micro level while .25-.50 was the lowest game at the low level.
Anyways, I was reminded of Jennifer Harman's comment during the live broadcast of the 2006 WSOP final table that people might be surprised that the $4000-$8000 game at the Bellagio (aka the Big Game, and the highest limit game going on) was generally the best game in the room. Surprisingly there must be something to this logic - the money since moving up a level is pretty good. I am surprised at how fast it adds up at only .25 more. Maybe this way I can add to my online bankroll faster. :-)
