Didn't mean to be cryptic, started as a general question for a thread and then I started adding the info specific to me. Poker World is the site in question.
I am definetly talking about limit games, and this money is right on the edge of being WORTH unlocking. 6-7 months ago I placed well in their freerolls so I have $73.50 in there that I would like to get out. Their restriction for this is 10 hands for every $1 unlocked for withdrawl (735 hands). I actually did find one .50/$1 table almost full, but since every hand didn't qualify for the rake requirements (.50 minI think) it was slow getting the FPP. The $1/$2 is better for this as every hand qualifies.
As this is the first week I have played above .25/.50 (and a few .50/$1 sessions) I was just curious to confirm my forming opinion that the skill level was similar among those levels, if it is the lowest limit beingplayed at the site. My other times at .50/$1 were at UB and that didn't go as well moving up from .25/.50 (although this wasvery early in my poker playing).
At this point I agree with those that said since this is free money this is a good place to try/get used to playing at a higher limit. I am planning to give a live game a try (either at foxwoods or TurningStone) sometime soon, so this has taken some of the edge off. I was concerned trying a live game for first time AND jumping up levels in one step.
Thank you all for your thoughts
