Hi sinky,
I think that Platinum poker and VC are the same place.

I have played the 40 max buyin tables you are talking about and found them to be very easy. I like the low blind/buyin ratio, as you can just sit back and wait for the premium cards to hit. I think the VC 40 max may be more profitable, but it sounds like you bankroll and skill level can handle Party 25 NL if you are ready for a change of scenery.
