Re: When are games too good?
I agree with what other people have said here. These kinds of tables are good, but the variance is high.

I would try to isolate or reduce the playing field, but would still get many callers.

You cannot raise to isolate weak players in this kind of a game. Raise for value, not to isolate. Since the pots are big, you can limp with drawing hands you could not play in a tighter game. Keep track of pot odds. Don’t fold things like gut shot straight draws for one bet when you have the odds to call and the board and action do not look bad.
Remember that the schooling effect does help protect the fish. They are making the pots large, which means some of the ‘mistakes’ they are making are actually correct. In some cases they do have the pot odds post flop to call with their long shot draws, and their pre-flop mistakes are small too because of the large pots, but they are still making mistakes. You just need to adjust your game to exploit the mistakes they are making.
