PokerStars $1/2

For both ring/6-max players, opinions on these games?

I have played quite a bit of 10-handed.

Usually small pots rule. Many players do not defend blinds. It seems most times a majority of players are passive postflop and will test your skills with overcards.

I would say I have learned to play very straightforward poker in these games.

Played a couple hundred hands at 1/2 and the 10 players I played with sucked. Tiny sample size though. It didn't seem much tougher than the .5/1 game. 6-max btw.

I play 2/4 6max there and there are plenty of bad players, so I can still make mistakes and get away with it. Not as passive as I expected but still good games.
But the best think is the rake. It beats any other online poker room even with rakeback. I've seen so far almost 50% less rake. So that's a good enough reason to play there when you are not clearing a bonus elsewhere.

I play the full ring 1/2 games when bonus chasing, so my experiences may be skewed by there being like minded bonus whores in my presence.

They seem pretty tight. I find them a bit tougher than party games, but that's not really saying that much. There's plenty of bad play.
