Good post.... it's interesting how much the skill level changes at the higher limits, isn't it?
Like, for me, the players at the microlimits and 1/2 and 2/4 are all pretty much the same (really freaking bad). At 10/20 and 15/30 (maybe even 5/10), I start to notice a significant change. But that's probably because THAT is where I should be playing - that is where my skill level is. I suspect for a less skilled player, they would notice a big jump from 1/2 to 2/4, for example, where to me, those games all play the same. And for a more experienced player, they would probably see 15/30 the same as 1/2, but notice a big jump at 400/800 or whatever.
PT data will support that overall skill level really does increase with each level you move up (at least I assume it would), but I think as a player, we probably don't notice it until that skill level surpasses us.
I think it's interesting.
