this is getting rediculous!! i cant go anywhere anymore and find a table at these limits with a flop % over 35%. i feel lucky to see 30+.

where did these rocks come from? and where can i find fish?

even at stars, where there should be no "bonus chasing," is showing 25-28, w/ one 32% and its not even midnight eastern yet.
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

Pretty much all full ring games have become like this. Full of rocks with the occasional maniac :S
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

Just look at the stats, you'll see it's a looser game. If you're worried about learning the game, don't, it's pretty easy to pick up, also most of you rocks will love it, you get to play very aggressive, open your game up a bit, and you can find all kinds of fish.

You don't need a loose table, you just need one or two loose players, and you need to sit them to your right.

Ideally, every table you play will have several tight players. It's ideal if two of them are to your left.

This way, you will likely have action when you get a good starting hand, and you'll be able to isolate the loose players more easily. You'll also have much more success blind stealing if the players to your immediately left are tight.
