I'm just wondering at what limit do the avid players find the play to improve on P* etc? In my time playing online I have not gone above $10 sngs and 2/4 limit and generally lower than that. Would it be better for me to deposit $500 plus and sit at larger ($20+ sngs) games? I sometimes feel this would take out the donkey play that sometimes gets misrepresented as "rigging" etc.
BTW I am about +$150 in 850 tourneys on P* so I guess you could call me a breakeven player at the stakes I play.

If you're breaking even at the stakes you're playing, I wouldn't jump higher if I were you. If you can't beat the bad players, you're not going to beat the good ones.

On P*'s the $20 SNG's are competitive but you could say that on quite a few of the levels. From the $5 SNG's up to the $100. It all depends on a persons bankroll. I've noticed recently that people that have tabled( my word for final 3 as in the $$$) in the $50 SNG's have also been in the $20 SNG's & a couple have been in the $6 +.50 turbo SNG's. Maybe those few have had to build their bankroll back up.
I've been playing the low limit SNG's ($5 & $6+.50 Turbo SNG). There are a few donkeys (myself included sometimes) in there but for the most part it's competitive. I've been slowly building my bankroll up (if you would call it that). I've noticed a few players in ther have built up the bankroll to over a couple of grand just playing $5 SNG's (sharkscope). If I was you I would stick with the $10 SNG's and after you build up your bankroll move up to the next level.
Also, take note on who consistently makes the final 3 & in the $$$, after awhile you have enough information on the competition to give you a basic idea on who the players are. Then you can also use sharkscope, another decent tool.
I run into a lot of good players at the $6 + .50 9-man turbo SNGs on P*. I played a $15+$1 9-man turbo SNG because I was pretty tilty (I usually only go up in stakes when I'm not having a good day, you'd think it would be the other way..) and the calibur of play was surprisingly a LOT better. It makes it harder to double up early, because there's less idiots willing to just throw away their money all-in preflop with AQ early on.
With $500 I would be playing the $6.50's and taking shots occasionally at the $15's but that's me.

This is what I thought and why I may have to challenge the medium stakes...I guess I'm searching for a more live-like poker game (which I know is never gonna really happen online)
