i have no ev maths to support my preference or anything, but playing with a good seat on just one massive fish and a bunch of weaktight players seems a lot easier than playing at a table with nothing but meh fish. the latter just seems to get you in a shittonne of multiway pots with you acting last postflop far less, so you at least have to flop well. it's kinda like at a fishy table, seeing a lot of flops isn't even that big of a leak, so the fish aren't really making AS big of mistakes as you might think by playing 40/15, so they bleed slower (especially if they're flopping well). obviously this gets to be more and moreso the case the deeper and deeper you get.

i mean it's kind of a "which will make the bag leak faster? poking a lot of little holes in it, or putting a big puncture in it?" type deal. just i figured i'd point out that just avoiding regs isn't the most effective method imo
