Online almost never gets even remotely near that loose.

4-7 players per game? Are you crazy? There are definitely games like that.

A good player loses a lot of the tools that make him a winning player when he joins those games. You can't bluff anyone, reads don't really matter, you can't manipulate anyone's perceptions or behavior if they don't really care. wbat you do or even pay attention. It becomes like playing a game of "War," where the highest cards dealt out win.

Oh my. Ed Miller put it best. These players take away one of your tools (OK, they take away a couple, but take this in context.) However, while defending themselves perfectly against the bluff, they expose themselves quite seriously to other tools. If you don't know what they are, you need to read up a little more! There is only 1 problem a good player faces in these games - bankroll and variance problems. That does not change the fact that you have a bigger edge in this game than just about any I can think of.
