I've been wondering about this myself. The tables seem to fill up too fast to be able to seat select.

However, against fish, that's really not too much of a problem. If you get a good starting hand (don't try to bluff fish) and raise 3x or 4x the big blind, the tight players fold and the fish call the majority of the time. It's easy to play OOP against a fish. Give him a little line, then sink the hook in. The point is to bet your hands preflop to isolate the fish. If you have Poker Tracker, etc, it's so easy to predict who will call or fold to your bets/raises.

You should try 6-max if you're curious. Drop down a level or two while you adjust. If you're at 2NL now, just play 1 or 2 tables of 6-max. Just play smart and you'll be fine. You must have the patience to fold your crap hands and wait for good ones. Poker doesn't play like a FPS video game. It's boring unless you enjoy the challenge of learning to play properly. If you're too bored to slow down and learn, then you should probably quit playing. Figure out why you suck and change your game to get better.

Good Luck
