Year starts in Feb..

OK So I have moved up to 2/4.
In January I messed around with a few different sites..Pokerstars, Full tilt and Ladbrokes..I made about 3k ..but It aint in my pokertracker so it doesn't count.......

Since the start of February I have played 2/4 on party.
I have played 13k hands and made $5.5K..I think thats about 4.8bb/100

Ok/Good, not great... The games are tougher than 1/2. Oh are they tougher.
You can play 12 tables on party, I play 4, so good multitablers are rife....
The games are also soo much more aggressive preflop, with 3, 4 betting rife.

I played 1/2 one day for a break played 1000hands and won 1k. It's funny after playing 2/4 for a monthy I was more confident at 1/2 and played very LAG about 35/22. It was fun aswell. I also felt comfortable playing 5/6 tables...
At that rate twud be an idea to stick at 1/2......I think I'll keep at 2/4 as I feel I am learning more there.

There has been alot of discussion on the forums regarding what the optimum strategy is on the "new" aggro tables with LAGs left and right.

Here's one: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055056537

Here's a few hands from 2/4.....screen name is Tai_Otoshi..I used to practice Judo
