why would you prefer a game full of solid players? i hear this a lot and i'll never understand it.
and i seriously doubt a 1-3 game in a casino can be beaten.. that rake is atrocious!

Well, my friends and I have beaten the Turning Stone 1-3 several times. In fact, I've never lost. It's mostly old folks and people wanting to spend the money they just won at blackjack. Sure, the rake's ridiculous (a $2 drop per hand plus a $1 toke, which often amounts to 15% of the pot) but the fishes swim so freely there that it's easy to beat.
I prefer solid players because they act appropriately, so they're easier to control and read. Other players (both very good players and very new players) are unpredictable. Online, the result is schooling, so that everyone in the hand against you is on some insane draw against your top two pair, and they all stay in. Someone catches and takes your pot. There's always the flip side of that, when you pull a huge pot off their sorry faces, but I prefer the slow, easy money you win from solid players over spending an afternoon dodging bullets. Maybe our definitions of 'solid' are different.
