Understand that 1/2 live plays bigger with much poorer play compared to on-line. The standard opening raise will be about $10.

However, a 1/2 game live could be compared to 25NL and 50NL on-line pretty consistantly in terms of player ability. If you are a winning player at .5/1 and 1/2 on-line you will regularly be one of the best if not the best player at your table.
