Op you're fundamentally a bad poker player(*). The reason is that good poker players seek games in which they have an edge, games they can beat, not games they can't beat. Therefore,a good player will by default play the easy 2/4 NL game.

Summary: your mindset makes you a bad player.

Everyone's reading comprehension apparently sucks today. OP thinks (inaccurately) that the jump to 2/4 at an easy site is just as difficult as playing 1/2 at a hard site. He's not sure he has an edge at a tougher game yet, so he wants to be at less risk to lose money.
The mistake is that its not a HUGE jump to 2/4. And if he has an easy site, he should just game select well and sit at 1/2 when the games suck.

Or I might not be understanding what everyone else is saying. Who knows.

Stars had the best players for years, they now have the most players which makes them not have the best games anymore. Toughest games are prob FT for 1/2-2/4 as the poster alluded to playing at. Softest are hands down Bodog and UB is soft as the FR is 10 max.

I read it the same way. He wants to basically go from easy 1/2 to hard 1/2 then to easy 2/4 so he can dominate the easy 2/4 assuming easy 2/4 and hard 1/2 are about the same

basically wants a middle between 1/2 and 2/4 with harder 1/2

If this were true, we should all be playing micro stakes where our edge is HUGE! If you want to maximize your win rate in real money, you need the biggest level where you have a good edge. If you do not move up, and if you're not willing to lose for a while, you will never get there. You'd never move up.

The guy's idea is pretty logical. You switch to a harder game to become a better player. you think you may lose for a while, then break even, then start winning. If you can find a 1/2 game that plays like a 2/4 game elesewhere, you take your losing period and your break-even period at the 1/2 game (smaller losses and smaller swings). Once you start beating it, you switch to the 2/4 game and double your winnings.

It's certainly an intriguing idea [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I would think it would have to be UB or FT.
