Default Re: play getting tight online?

[ QUOTE ]
i recently moved from a sports-book/poker site to the largest poker site (starts with a P).

anyhow, i am completely shocked at how tight the low level (2-4 - just wanted to dip my toe) games are. tons and tons of times, it was folded around to the blinds. i know it's an outdated expression, but i didn't see any real fish at all (maybe me, lol)

are people just multi-tabling very tight-aggressive or trying to clear bonuses or something? because very little action and then when there was, the decisions on the flop/turn were so difficult.

i'm more used to the sports book where the games are fairly soft but the availability of tables and quality of software are very poor.

i moved to get more tables at low limits, but i sure didn't want this.

i think i may look for a more crowded sports book type site like will hill or something. wonder if it will have more europeans. anyhow, my theory on sportsbook sites is that many people will have the $$$$$ for their sports bets and will wander over to play some poker.

my last generation question: are tight, somewhat aggressive low limit games beatable as per rake (and maybe even blinds)? can you wait a long time for cards or will the blinds kill you?? i noticed you had to play position very aggressively...

i am very, very surprised the games were that tight. not that nice loose passive i've seen elsewhere (although less recently)
