All I can say is live tables in my area are 10x more vicious than pokerstars.  You'll have guys at the table with 10-20 times the buy-in or more.  Especially at lower limits (below $100 buy-in), you'll find the name "no-foldem" appropriate to many tables.
 
And I would always recommend playing as high a stake as your bankroll permits.  Decide now how much money you're really willing to play with.  For example, I originally set my bankroll at 1 grand.  my rule of thumb is to have at least 300xBB on a game to play it (so, for example, on a $2/$4 table, I would need $1200 to play safely).  This lets you ride out the up-and-down nature of the game, and the bad beats that are inevitable.  I ended up playing $1/$2 poker for two months before getting the "extra" $200 to play $2/$4.
So set a bankroll for yourself - and play the higlest limit you think is safe for your bankroll, and don't increase your level until your bankroll is large enough to handle some losing sessions.
