I haven't found a stakes level devoid of bad players yet. I've played several hundred hands of $15/$30, and I saw players that autorated as fish, maniacs, etc. When I am bankrolled for it, I am moving up to exploit them, not the tight-aggressive players who fold KTo. When it seems like everyone at the table knows what they're doing, I find a better game.

Why would you want to play at a table where everyone plays like you and you have no advantage? The cards decide such games, and you end up feeding the rake long term.

Exploiting bad players requires skills worth developing.
