I've been on my most insane run over this past 4 days and just killing the $1/2 NL 6 max tables and I think theres alot of idiots there... seems like alot of ppl there are way over their head.
Once i got my onlike roll to 4k i moved up to $2/4 tho to see what i could do with 1 buyin and i dropped one $400 buy in and then moved right back down. Maybe i was at a tough table but the $2/4 seemed like a whole different game than the $1/2.

Knowing a few of the people that play 2/4 on stars I would say that it is a huge jump. I have a friend that played 1/2 nl till he had a 30k roll. I understand that most people will move up way before then, but to me it shows the type of players at 2/4 and even 3/6. He is still playing 2/4 and 3/6 and has a roll that exceeds 150k. So it is a very profitable level, however there is a lot more sharks that can put a serious hurt on you.

Cash games with blinds 1/2 and 2/4 are the way to go

I am one that really likes to play in tours on Poker Stars, I have done ok on reg. cash games but seems like I do much better playing in small or large tours then I do just sitting down and playing cash games.

Well ok what Ive said has annoyed some of you,,, Well to be honest thats what forums are about. different opinions.
Now in my own opinion, you will not make poker much money by following the fishes around any site.
And in my opinion anyone who is making money regulary wont tell you were to go, Why?

I now as Mayhem said love playing poker for the challenge, mostly tournys and boy do I enjoy my game, I lose what I can afford, I play low entry tournys and try different plays, I play the game needed at the time and I learn all the time. But most important to me is I now actually make money, not a huge amount but enough atleast to afford a very good holiday this year.

I must be doing something right, as my outlay this year is $3000, my withdrawls are now $4500 and my roll is a healthy $5200.I wont play cash games only SNGs and tournys and all without chasing and in Mayems words not trying to make money.

Chasing fishes around in my opinion is not worth it, it may be worth it for some and good luck to them.

The reason I haven't contributed to this thread yet isn't because I don't want people to know where I think the action is..... it's because I think the fish are everywhere. I haven't met a Hold'Em game online yet that I don't think is beatable.
