I think some members are missing the point of the post. I did not write those 1000+ words to state that there is a big difference in skill between the $3.30 and $6.60 turbos. Rather, I was pointing out what I discovered, thanks to the never-happen-again situation. It is because I was playing with a lot of players at my skill level that I realized you should never play with players on your level - only above or below, as otherwise there is no difference between poker, and a more traditional casino game, such as blackjack or roulette.

I see your point mars and it does makes pretty good sense. Playing below and above your skill level enables you to earn regular money at the easy games to fund and learning curve of playing higher level games. Thus over time becoming more comfortable at the higher stakes and then jumping up to the next level/stakes, and being able win at higher stakes too (which previously were above your skill level).
