First post, so bear with me:
I'm new to Partypoker and have had success at the .5/$1 tables (play for an hour or so with $14 to start and generally stop with $25-40). I'm looking to play for bigger pots and have about $100 to play with.
Any suggestions?
I can generally play about 90 minutes at a time.
I tried one of the $25NL tables once and got smoked.

If you only have 100 bankroll I would suggest you stay right were you are with the 0.5/1.00 because you are already playing at a limit that could easily cripple you if you sustain a bad run. If the 100 doesn't mean anything to you then take a shot at a higher limit and see how it pans out. Good luck.

the best bang for your buck excitement-wise, time-wise, bankroll-wise and otherwise would be cheap sit n go's. if not then play higher, say
1-2 or 2-4, provided you can replenish your bankroll with other income.
if you dont do well, you can always drop down.

Thanks for the comments.
I'm still new enough that I'm playing for fun and don't risk what I can't afford to lose, but I'll look for a 1-2 table next time the wife goes to the mall and test the waters for about $60's worth.
