Toughness of play at different levels on Pokerstars

[cgull]

I have been playing 5 card draw at pokerstars for about 8 months. Most of that has been PL at the .25/.5 level. I have now reached the point where I win consistently, probably about 8 winning sessions out of 10. I've never figured out how many BBs per hour.

I have tried moving up to .5/1 a few times and it has been tough. Up here I lose more often than I win and the losses are larger than the winning sessions. I've tried playing the same as I do at .25/.5 and also tightening up without any real difference in results.

It seems to me that there are so few PL games on Stars that very good players are playing at the .5/1 level but that .25/.5 is entry level and much softer.

So...it is tempting to stay at .25/.5.

I would be interested in any other opinions or comments on this.
