Bought into Party at $500 and played 2/4 and 3/6 limit. Played tight, got lucky and cashed out over $900.

Read this site, moved to NL cash playing the old *amazingly* soft Party $25 full game in its prime. Bought in at $500, blew most of it. Bought in another $500, blew most of that. Then came back hard. Made back my 1k, plus another 1k profit when I started playing other formats here and there. Since then I've been consistantly profitable in just about every format I play in.

If you're new to poker, I strongly recommend the PokerStars penny tables or the Party .5/1 limit game.
