Re: Why do some sites have much better players than others?

I have been playing on partypoker, which I hear has some of the softest tables around at the lower levels. I hear that Absolute has much worse tables full of tight players. Why is this?

This is an excellent question.
It would be interesting if someone did a serious analysis of the quality of players at the various sites. Maybe measure objective stats, such as VPIP or simple winrates.
My impression is that fish feed off each other and make each other "fishier", if that makes sense. If an absolute shark sits down at a table, especially a shorthanded table, it might be enough to change the table dynamic. Get enough sharks onto a site, and the fishiest of the fish just get eaten. Eventually an equilibrium is established, just like in nature.
