Op you're fundamentally a bad poker player(*). The reason is that good poker players seek games in which they have an edge, games they can beat, not games they can't beat

If this were true, we should all be playing micro stakes where our edge is HUGE! If you want to maximize your win rate in real money, you need the biggest level where you have a good edge. If you do not move up, and if you're not willing to lose for a while, you will never get there. You'd never move up.

The guy's idea is pretty logical. You switch to a harder game to become a better player. you think you may lose for a while, then break even, then start winning. If you can find a 1/2 game that plays like a 2/4 game elesewhere, you take your losing period and your break-even period at the 1/2 game (smaller losses and smaller swings). Once you start beating it, you switch to the 2/4 game and double your winnings.

It's certainly an intriguing idea [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
