    I just don't get it. I started playing little 20c, 50c STTs. Then $1. And I've just started playing $2 games.

    It seems as if the players are getting worse as I move up. Is it that the money is so small that all games a tthis level are full of terrible players or what?

    For example:
    *Please note that this is not intended as a bad beat moan, only to illustrate my point.

    I know this player is a calling machine so I wasn;t worried about AA, KK

    you arent going to find good players playing at these levels. Even at $5 stts you still have rubbish players. The money is too small for some people to care about it

    Breadmonkey,
    I started much as yourself, on the 50c STTs, moving up when I won 20buy-ins, moving back down when I lost a certain amount.
    I'd agree that the $2 STTs are easier than the $1 STTs, I dont know why this is.
    Found the $3 STTs quite tough, took me about 2 months to win enough to get my bankroll up to $5 games.
    $5 i found far far easier than $3.
    $10 at the moment, and found nothing to be scared of yet.
    Good Luck.
