How is the jump from $55 to $115 on stars?

Is the competition much harder?

Unless you sit a lot of

Unless you sit a lot of regulars (or a ton of regulars sit you) then I would say absolutely not.

The regulars are a bit better in this jump, but still beatable.

However, in order to be beatable, you'll likely have to be a stronger player than you are now.  I say likely because most people asking this question haven't played at $110+, which means they are likely not a top $110 reg yet.

If you avoid the few times

If you avoid the few times of the day where it's nothing but regular after regular in the lobbies, you should be beating $115 for a decent ROI if you're doing well in the $55s.

If you're overrolled though, play when you have time and don't worry about playing regulars.  It'l only make you better, and after a bit of time in many cases it's profitable.

I notice more regs during

I notice more regs during early weekdays (M-T) and during the daytime for USA (Like say noon to 5pm EST).  I hear overnight is pretty good action.  I think I played after midnight like once in the last year, during that Sandeep challenge and competition was nice and soft.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, unless you exclusively play during the dead times and never play weekends or nights, you shouldn't notice a major difference unless you have trouble hitting "decline" vs some of the better players.
