Stars is fine. With over 50k players in prime time, there have to be at least one or two fish there, right? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

so at small stakes $5-$10, you guys play MOSTLY TAG in the 6-ring? This explains why villians can magically call down all my bets with everything under the sun. Leave it to me to bluff frequent calling stations....

PFR seem obsoleet too, especially at tables where they call PFR re-raises from the SB of 4x the original raise....

After going BUSTO on PP, I decided to take the $10 I had on Stars and try to see what I can do with it as I don't have a whole lot of disposable income these days. I started at the 0.1/0.2 NL tables and ran that up to $50 and now I am on the verge of moving up from 0.2/0.5 NL to 0.5/0.10 NL. So far it seems in these lower buy-in games that nut peddling is the optimum strategy. I ordinarily play 3-4 tables like this and post way more winning sessions than losing ones. I'll be happy if I can continue to move up until I am properly rolled for the 1/2 games on party again.

Back on track, the lower games are soft if you have a sound strategy that you stick to.

Stars is consistently above 75k players during peak hours.

Just find one that works for the game you play. I prefer to nut peddle 90% of the time at these limits to ensure that I can add to my bankroll, but others have great success playing extremely loose. I just happen to find that bluffing doesn't work at these small levels (for me anyway)

can you define nut peddling more specifically? i assume you mean folding a lot and playing your strong hands strongly (no slowplaying). is there more to it than that?

If you can't beat the NL $4 or NL $10 games, it's not because of the site you are playing on.
