I'm starting to feel the same way, Natural -- but ONLY at PartyPoker (as you've stated). I can't remember how many times I've been called when betting the pot (or more!) after pairing the Ace on the flop with my King kicker and someone else with Ax catches a weak second pair on the turn or river.

I've been playing more at PokerStars lately and the players generally seem to play tighter than at PartyPoker. I think I like that, as they are a bit more predictable and respect strong bets.
