the games get a lot harder as you move up from .05/.1 . if i were you i wouldn't jump to 1/2 right away until you are beating a lower limit.

[/ QUOTE ]Last month, I started teaching a guy who had never played a hand of poker in his life and he started at .05/.10 and he is now slightly better than break even at 2/4-3/6 (he plays about 1k hands a day learning). So, we got to watch the quality of play across all the micro levels. There seems to be a BIG quality leap from .05/.1 to 1/2. 1/2 is still pretty soft, but you don't get to see the big family pots and all the calling stations. If you have played 15k hands at .05/.10 and you are only break even then you need to do a serious review of your game. 15K is not a ton of hands, but I couldn't imagine a winning player being break even after 15K hands at .05/1.
