Re: Party vs Stars
You're not offering a very convincing rebuttal, Voltron.
Playing against better opposition will not prep you to blow up Party 22s or 33s; it might however give you a stronger foundation/more experience to allow for moving beyond that at some point, and it almost certainly will be more useful if you plan to ever play any kind of big bet poker other than SNGs. I don't think there's a real clear-cut answer to this.
And, as I like to say when people start whining about it, although a good player will benefit from playing the fishiest fish available, a mediocre player who plays in a style that does reasonably well at exploiting tighter fish but loses to the fishiest fish could conceivably be better off playing those tighter fish if he/she doesn't know how to adjust to the loose ones.
