Where do you guys go to find games that are as soft as the one described in SSHE? I play 3-6 and 5-10 Limit Holdem at party and after reading the book it feels like I'm missing out on some really really soft games somewhere

Thanks for any tips or recommendations

Any B&M casino in the country (usually up to $10/$20 sometimes $20/$40).

you only need to go as near as party 2/4

Are you sure about this? I have read quite a bit of posts from people saying that if you can beat the party 2/4, you can easily beat B&M 3/6, 4/8, and some 5/10.

I mean't more specifically; where on the internet sites? Sorry if I was unclear. Where i come from we only have poker games in a few government-controlled casinos - maybe 3 throughout the country, and nowhere near where I live - and no public cardrooms.

If there are online 3-6, (and especially) 5-10 and higher games that are somewhat alike the games SSHE is written for, I'd like to know

Thanks in advance

You've already found them. Although, preflop it falls into Miller's tight game chart. Post flop it is the game that he describes.

ok yeah, that makes sense. So, what about the other of the "big four" (or five), are there any tendency for softer games at one site or are the games all the same?

The overwhelming concensus is that the Party network is the softest. There the 6 max games are the softest.

I saw a post where someone was talking about Pacific 5/10 with 40% players seeing the flop. Any truth to that?

The last time I was on Pacific this was definitely true.
Prima's games are usually pretty soft too.

I don't play on Pacific anymore though.
Their repuation for screwing the players is well known.

I'd just like to add that Miller wrote SSHE targetted at soft lo-limit B&amp;M games (e.g. Commerce). While some internet games at times approach the very loose characteristics described in SSHE, it is not the norm. But this is not to say that many of the concepts in SSHE don't apply online.

It is also of interest to note that Ed Miller has stated more than once on 2+2 that he has not played much online, and he does not particularly like playing online.

Crypto are so soft its a joke. The players are soo sooo crap at poker on 1/2. Sometimes the games can be tight pre-flop but thats due to them all being so under bankrolled. Its week tight central!
