People can chase guttshots on me all day. Thats like saying I quit because they play so bad. Clearly the variance will be higher but I will take that over a table full of solid players.

Do you think the 10/20 6-max on WPEX is significantly harder than the 10/20 6-max on Stars to the point where it isnt worth the 100% rakeback? I am looking to move up to 10/20 and am deciding where to play. So far I have had no problem beating the 8/16 6-max on Bodog.

Thoughts anyone?

Two things jump at me. Your individual playing style is important (ie what your strengths and weaknesses are, what players you play best against) when deciding what type of opponent you want to have.
Secondly the Stars players club system is highly weighted toward higher volume players who play every month. If your a more casual 5,000 hand a month player the stars club isn't worth a heck of a lot. if your going to hit supernova in 6 months and reap those benefits then they become a lot more competitive for you.

My last 9,000 hands have been played at stars 10/20. The games aren't great (compared to my old games) but they are passable.

meh, its hard to weigh out exactly which is more profitable.

wpex games are significantly tougher. however if ur a winner at stars 10/20 and your good at dealing w/ higher variance and the swings dont hurt/affect you, id say go for wpex. play 2-3 tables and if your eeking out even a smallish profit besides the rake, thats a [censored] ton of +$$ in rake.

edit: i meant to say, play both. id keep money on wpex but if the game is horrible, dont sit

hmm only one solid player?

Still can't figure out who you are there. I can only name 4 solid players and I know who they all are. Everyone else is a weird LAG fish to some degree.

Also I will completely back up __1__ that there are bots on that site if anyone thinks he is just spouting something random.

I think there are definitely some bots on the site, but to be totally self-serving, I don't mind them since they're pretty easy to beat. On the other hand, there's a couple players who are just so flat-out weird that I don't know whether they're a bot or a human.

And hurray for being a LAG-fish. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I'm one of the usual weird LAG fish that DD speaks of and I can confirm that bots are there.

However, as many can attest, plenty of the bots are very bad and beatable so the presence of bots, while disturbing to online poker overall is not necessarily a bad thing at WPEX.

Bots!. If it wasn't for my conscience I guess I would have one running too. What a joke, I could have a little bot playing probably better than I do and I could be out [censored] around. I guess I'm just a jealous bot hater.
