[Bluffoon]

I dont think you are lowering your playing standards. You are learning to win under diferent game conditions than you are used to. This should make your game better not worse.

I dont win at quite the rate that I win at partypoker but its not far off. At partypoker I make most of my money from opponents playing too many hands and going too far with them. At pokerstars the players are mostly weak-tight. You can value bet less but but bluff and semi-bluff more. Check raise bluffs drop the whole table there like they were shot.

Also at pokerstars you see the same players more often than you do at partypoker so you can get better reads.

Some on this board dont agree with me, but I think playing there improves my game and makes me a better player.
