I've played 5 dollars, all the way up to 200 dollars (through a backer), and to be real honest, aside from the preflop raises and reraises, I didn't see THAT much of a difference. There is a difference to be sure, but not as much as one my think. I think with every level of play, there are some good players there who have moved up the ranks along with some terrible players who don't really care about there money (either stupid or rich). Like you Aequitas58, I play very tight in the first few rounds because you really can't gain much unless two people flop monsters, like a flush versus boat. No matter what level I have played, I always finish in the top 5. I have got too many 4ths to even count, although I have cut down because I just play my game and take what comes. Before I would get ultra tight when it was down to 4, and from experience, that is not the way to go.
