i have found i have been far more successful on some of the smaller sites than the larger ones and i believe its partly because i see players constantly calling with second pair and crap preflop
do you think there is any one site with particularly weak competition
i am currently playing at everest and i think their players are far weaker than average ( at the low limits at least)
if anyone else is considering the gift certificate offers i think that everest is a good site to start at

i used to think that the worst players were at partypoker's low stackes tables. now i have to agree that ladbrokes has the worst players i've ever seen. they simply call you with anything(high card).

My vote for now goes to Ladbrokes, due to the bonus they recently gave out. It´s natural to have weaker players and players that are beginning to have their first contact with the game. ***This is a good thing! Have patience and wait for the right moment to take the pot*** I also agree that sites with huge amounts of player are bound to have more weaker players, that´s simply because they have so many players hitting the tables at anytime.

I think it's wrong to single out Ladbrokes. I play or have played real money at all the major (except party poker) sites and some little known ones. You'll find bad players at all them at lower buy ins . They are all as bad as each other. Another way to look at is playing standard comparative to buy in. For example freerolls. Freerolls at Absolute are by far the worst. I would'nt even bother. As for real money games i usually play SnG's. You would expect that the higher the buy in the better the standard. Which, in most part is true. But i've found the $30 single table at F.Tilt to be just as loose as a $5 one.

Does this really exist?? certain sites with 'weak players' i play at a few sites and i must admit that to me the quality of the game seems to be average across all of them. Sometime yes i do find that 1 site has a few easy tables which i can run over but i just think that is luck of the draw. I honestly dont think table size also is an issue, when i first started i was playing .10/.25 as that was the game that my bankroll was suited for, to me that money was worth more than its dollar value, now that i play 3/6 the money means the exact same it did when i was playing .10/.25. Only because you play at smaller or higher limits doesnt not have to mean the game is easier or harder....money is money

The game is harder against players whom we call fish. For example, on Low limit table, if i have AA and flop a 3rd and some idiot goes all in with 7 2 off , is that good play ? I know happens because it happened to me. He an outside chance of a flush and made with the next two cards. In a higher limit game any decent player would'nt of even called in the 1st place. You can't play against it and you can't win. Especially when you have 3 or 4 players like it on the same table. yes they will lose eventually but never when i'm around..!!

i think you just forget when it you when because its completly unamazing to beat 72 off when you have trip aces but the times they dont hold up you remember
getting called down by middle or bottom pair is something i like to happen all day long, it sucks when they do draw out on you but it is just odds, long term you will beat them

everyone seems to be complaining about situations i pray to be in, getting called down with middle pair, chasing after the straight or flush?? Just curious to know if you guys/gals write notes on your opponents? I certainly keep notes LAG, TAG etc with a little more depth and i adjust my game accordingly and commit to paying hands the right way. Only because you have top set doesnt mean you will win. Winning at poker isnt how much you can win in 1 day but how you can consistently win Over a period of time.

I think you are both missing my point. yes i agree with you . I would go all in all day with AA against 7 2 0ff. And yes i would come out on top. But the point i'm making is that the player should never have played them at all. it's a play of an idiot. And, with 3 0r 4 idiots at the same table (10 seated) your chances of comming out on top reduce. You don't get this type of play at higher levels. but you will find them down at the lowest levels.

Who says you do not get this sort of play?? Fish are fish dont matter how big or small they are. I think what would be best to say is, that you dont offend get it all the way to the show down against players with junk hands, its all variance.... but if you think you dont get fish on highler limits your in for a rude awakening.

thats not true mate even some of the pro's are fishes but most of the fishes are playing on luck and usually they get lucky and the great players end up losing a great amount of money i lost most of my bankroll 2 fishes
most of the time it goes like this : my hole cards a k s his hole cards j8
flop ak 10
i raise he reraises im all in the fish calls turn q river blank
this kind of s**tload always happens when im up against a no skilled player also knows as the fish

Hi, my opinion is, that at Titan Poker are a lot of fishes. At the beginning i played often at Titan, made a nice $. Sometimes, when my money is down, i go to Titan and play maybe one week, then I have a nice "hand-money" to cashout.
