Why I Like Playing The Smaller Sites

I agree. It's getting old fast, and he has been warned.

For what it's worth, I think game selection is far more important than playing with the same players over and over. If anything, I think that can work against you. I can get a solid read on my opponents in very little time. Unless they can get a read on me even faster, it's smarter for me to play with strangers than known opponents.

I think it goes both ways. If you can find a game where you are the best player, and can consistently take home the money, why ever leave it? That's what it's all about right, winning. So if on a small site you find yourself always with the same players, and you are better than most, that's a good situation.

But of course game selection is the biggest factor in consistently winning. Like the old saying goes, you may be the 8th best player in the world, but if you are sitting with the top seven, you are gonna come out a loser in the long run.

I guess i'm just saying that weak players are just that, weak players. Doesnt matter if you find them on a huge site or a small one...as long as you can find em.

I think the safety of funds/accounts is an important factor in selecting a site as well and thats why I stay at the larger places.

more fish to prey on with the larger sites

Larger sites offer the worst set of players you'll find anywhere. It is the equivalent of playing with a bunch of tourists at a B&M. Why play at a small site, stick with Party, Pacific, UB. These sites have people that are basically just learning how to play (or enjoy losing money).
