but am I the only one that thinks the Stars $25NL are some of the easiest tables around?

I have to admit that I don't really understand why everyone says not to play Ring games there. I mean, if you go look at the site right now, there are lots of $25 tables with over 40% plrs/flop.

I will admit that I am new to the ring game circuit (played all SNG's for a year), but still, out of Dise, Party, Empire and RiverBelle, I find that my TAG style fits Stars the best.

What am I missing here?

25nl at any site will be easy.

As you move up to higher limits in Stars the game gets harder than on other sites imo.

Just get use to Party so you don't have to later.

Pokerstars cash games used to be a lot tighter than party's games but stars is just getting more and more fish in my oppinion. I think it's fine to play at stars even if you're a cash game player.

stars has good software, equal to partys imo now, it also works had an has a good system that provides for players who stay on the site. Its also large and full of good mtt games.
Yet without doubt, while stars games may b getting a little more looser if more fish/bad players are beginning to move their, it ring games are never going to compare to oher sites like party/ pacific tribeca which are ridiculously easy.

I dont neccesarily doubt that, but the problem I have with Party is that you cant see Plrs/Flop %. And at Pacific, the pots in the smaller ring games are so small (hardly ever any average pots over 15BB) that I don't know how profitable that site would be for me.

I've watched a significant amount of 3/6 NL and 5/10 NL 6max games on party, and I've come to the conclusion that they are both softer (3/6 - absolutely no doubt) then the 2/4 6max games on stars.

Whats more importnat to you?
Being able to see a few semi-important numbers
or
pwning bad/awful players all day?

I absolutly hate stars and party and a lot of their software, yet id be the first on the site to say i still have higher bb/100 rates at party than anywhere else online.
