Also, another note. The idea that you cannot win playing poker when your opponents will always call to the end for an extra 10 cents is highly erroneous. "I need to move to a higher limit, where they will respect my raises" is a thought that will never cross an expert player's mind, because it is patently false.
Poker is a game of adaptation. The player who is a calling station has dulled two of the poker player's weapons: the semi-bluff and the pure bluff. But he has opened himself up widely to a new attack: value betting and raising quality draws, good hands, and marginal hands. Games full of these types of opponents are actually the most profitable (in terms of bets, not money).
