Default Re: Soft games and American players?

IMHO The softest games are found at sites that

1) Do not support PT or HUDs
2) Shares a bankroll with a sportsbook / casino
3) Don't offer regular / great bonuses.

a little scouting around the mid size sites that fit those 3 criteria can often turn up tables most people on 2+2 dream about, but never find as they won't play without PT etc!

I'm liking PKR right now, although it only meets 2 out of the 3 criteria, multitabling is a pain there though!

Games however are some of the softest I've seen recently.

Ladbrokes, again meets 2/3 and has very soft games, at least at $50nl where i play.

Cake poker is also worth a look, if you can put up with the buggy software.

I find the $25 and $50nl games on those sites are often as good as party in the old days [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think it is the default avatar or at least the top choice when people sign up.

Oh yeah, that is the other reason I left party. It is infested with shortstackers who buy in with one fifth of the max and essentially wreck the character of the game. Very common at NL10 to find more than 50% of the table are buying in with $2, although the situation is moderately better at NL25 but not much. The proportion of shortstackers was growing too. They generally play a horrible, mindless style of poker that is almost unbearable to put up with when they make up half the table.

Those short-stackers who know what they're doing are tough to beat, aren't they?

A bit frustrating, perhaps, but your reaction is 100% correct. It's always a good idea to seek out an easier game.
