The games at 2-4 and higher on PokerStars are sometimes soft
because there are one or two new players. Most of the time,
the game is populated with regulars, so you're in for a
treat if there is even one "newbie". Depending on how poor
your opponents play, drawing one might be better (you may
get a weak opponent to raise you on the end with trips); on
the other hand, you do increase your chances of making a big
hand a tiny bit. At the higher limits (with decent or
tough opponents), drawing two is normal.

This hand reminded me of a 10-20 hand I played eons ago on
PokerStars. I held AAAxy on the button when the utg raised,
the hijack and cutoff both cold called and after the reraise
it was four-way. The draws were three, three(!), one and
one, but I didn't get paid off.

But I thought the PL/NL microgames on PokerStars were often
soft? (I've played them on and off) Isn't that still the
case even now?
