Apologies for the trivial post, but there is (sort of) a serious question to follow.
I commented in Chris_TC's "Let's build some bankroll....." thread a few days ago how tight the 50c / $1 limit games had become. That trend has continued. I did a search a earlier today for some of my favourite fish, and found a couple of them playing at the $1 / $2 limit table! I also noted that the table stats for the $1 / $2 tables showing a significantly higher players / flop than the 50c / $1 tables. After a few minutes looking through my PT database, I found no less than 14 players (out of 6 full ring games plus 3 others with 8 or 9 players) at the $1 / $2 tables whilst the 50c / $1 tables seem to be populated with the sharks (presumable in search of fish)!
My semi-serious question is can it ever be justified deserting BRM strategy in search of easy money at higher levels? I have been very disciplined in staying at 50c / $1 so far, even though I believe I can beat the next level, but this is REALLY putting my willpower to the test!!!! Sure, I know that the sharks will catch on pretty soon and have a feeding frenzy, but it really is tempting to move up early - even if only as a short term experiment.
