Yeah, it's a completely different game. I was running at 8 for the first 8000, so I know i'm running well, but I think that 4-5 is easily sustainable at this limit. I think I'm able to keep my vpip up because i'm just so much better postflop that most 1/2 players(everybody who has a clue moves up after a while) . Getting pot odds and value betting are just so easy here.
I reread Small stakes hold em and it pretty much is all just a repeition of this one sentence. Put money in when your (percepted) pot equity is high enough, and manipulate your positon if possible. That helped me when before I always fell into thinking I deserve this pot, and i'm going to bet like it (which is just idiotic and lost me alot of money).
Moving up to 3/6, I think that there's still maniacs out there, but I'm not able to value bet as much as 1/2. I think the average 3/6 6maxer still has pretty atrocious preflop standars, but is much improved postflop. Thus playing 35-40 yeilds alot less value. I've taken stabs and am running better, but 4tabling 1/2 is great stable money at the moment (and my only income), so not to much in a hurry to move up.
Although I don't think i'm running tooooo well, it'll be interesting to see what the next few thousand bring.
