I am playing with some buddies for very small stakes ($0.25 - $1.00) so it is really hard to bluff or scare people off, How do i find a higher stakes game???

Where do you live?

I'm sure your friends won't mind upping the stakes if they've been beating you. They'll probably wonder why you want to raise the stakes.

Show up at a casino that has a card room - find out if there are any underground games in your area - or try to find a higher stakes home game.

Let lots of people know that you play poker and are looking for a game. Mention it in passing when you meet new people. It is surprising how many people play. Most games welcome new players, but if they don't know that you play they will be unlikely to invite you.
