question from a lower limit player?

[sweeng8]

hi,
i have a question regarding what you high limit players consider to be soft levels of play. I generally play at 1/2 and sometimes 2/4 and I am curious for those who regularly win at high levels, what you think of games at these levels.
I know this may sound like a vague question, but do you find limits say from 0.25/5 to say 2/4 just as easy as each other, or do you find a substantial jump. for those who have worked their way up, when do you find the level increases to a 'tough' level of play?
Please excuse the vagueness of these questions but i like to think that i can work my way up one day to the high stakes games. hard to really gauge where im at, when i dont really play any higher limits, so just curious what my limits seem like to better players
thanks

not sure where the jumps are higher up but theres definately a big jump from 1/2 to 2/4.

I remember 1-2 to 2-4 being a big difference in skill level. Other than that, 5-10 to 10-20 or higher was the biggest change in skill level that i encountered

I play only 5/10 and dabble at 10/20.. but from my experience

< .50/1 is cake
1/2 seemed just as easy or EASIER than <.50/1
2/4 was a GRIND... seemed like everyone was a nit and ranges were always AJ/99+ in a raised pot.. i could be wrong though, I hadn't really learned how to take advantage of their style yet
3/6 was a relief after 2/4
5/10 is ok.. i dunno yet, it's been a bit of a roller coaster recently.. it did seem like a stretch from 3/6 - 5/10 (i mean a big jump).
10/20... i can't beat it yet.

thanks for the replies,
at the moment i am aiming to make the transition between 1/2 and 2/4. i notice a big jump that i have never noticed before, that i cant quite beat yet. i am a student so basically living off poker money, which means when i am up a few grand i have to cash it out for living costs, which basically means i dont have a bankroll big enough to move beyond the odd flutter at 2/4. annoying as i dont really get to test myself at higher levels, but was just after some idea as to how the games change as the levels increase

1/2-2/4 and 3/6-5/10 are both big jumps in skill/game dynamic differences in my experience.

agreed. also, i find .5/1 a lot easier than any other level. To me it seems there's the nicest mix of completely straightforward tags, and total donks.

from 3/6 to 5/10 is a big jump also imo

It depends when you moved up pre or post frist
right now the skill gap between 1-2/2-4 is around the same that the gap between 2-4/3-6 before the bill
At least in my opinion having played those games on party
