PartyPoker 1/2 vs .5/1

[jjshabado]

I started playing online again a couple months ago. I'm currently playing .5/1 with the intention of playing this until my initial $150 deposit grows to ~500 before moving up.

Tonight I decided to try the 1/2 game just for fun. The players were WAY worse than those at the .5/1 game. Seemed like at least 3 or 4 players were just there to gamble.

Is the .5/1 game actually harder than the 1/2 game regularly? I'm thinking about playing 1/2 now until (if) I find they are actually harder to beat than .5/1. Bankroll isn't an issue since I have money I can deposit without a problem.

Edit: Fixed some bad wording.
