Why did I only just find out about this game now?

I don't know what it's like at the higher limits, but it is so terribly easy to win money on the Stars 1c 2c tables that it's almost a joke. Lots of tight players who fold decentish hands pre-flop, and lots of idiots who call their whole stack on the river with basicly nothing.

I was seeing 80% of flops (Hardly anyone seems to understand implied odds!) and winning about 1/4 of the hands, taking more than $5 an hour playing two tables.

I love it because it doesn't punish me for playing a loose aggressive game, which is my natural style. I'll definatly be trying the higher stakes soon.

If you play 80% of your hands at higher stakes, you'll get chewed up pretty quickly.

It's easier to play more hands at pot limit than limit, but 80% is way too much.

I'd consider 80% of flops to be way too much in just about every game under the Sun, except heads up maybe.

The implied odds have covered me quite well so far, but I'm sure I would have to play quite a bit less at higher stakes.

If you can play patient and smart it's not terribly difficult to win money playing some of the dolts on Pokerstars. Their 10-20 game is very soft, with a lot of loose aggressive players who will pay you off if you hit. I've seen several instances where they put in their entire buy in with top two pair.
