Default At What Level Are People Not Morons?

I'm currently playing the $16 Turbos on Stars and I'm getting annoyed at how bad people are. They stall for an hour to make routine folds, thus getting less play before the blinds get huge. The idiot big stacks complete in the SB, while 4 handed, and fold to the short stack's all in from the BB, getting like 3:1, and essentially giving them new life. Arrrghhh..

Anyways, when do the levels start getting tougher? IE: Not filled with people with no concept of SNG Tourney play?

Last I checked, we played at the same buyin. So let me get this straight: you're so brilliant that you make up for all the morons that make up my ROI? I mean, don't get me wrong, I freely admit that you're better than I am, but damn, that's a tough row to hoe. I mean, just now this dude pushed his stack of 1100 chips UTG on level 1 with K9o. He's the chip leader, now, of course [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Anyway, holla.

Just like, so you know...it's pretty sweet to play with people who don't know what they're doing. It's like +EV..or something.

Playing against weaker opponents: +EV

Playing against a field of opponents, with one weak huge stack, who either check-calls all ins with nothing at all, or limp-folds to short stacks getting huge odds: -EV

This is a rant by the way.

Something higher than 22's.

Roughly 4 out of the last 5 times I've tried to make a cooperation play when a shorter stack is all in, the other braniac cleverly bluffs me out of the non existent side pot on the flop with no pair, no draw.

I've had people call all in with a full stack at level 1 with hands like 89 offsuit.

People complain that online poker is rigged.

People say "nice river".

People call Pokerstars "Riverstars".

People bluff with complete garbage, get called and lose to something like ace high, and tell the other person that they suck, because "how can you call with that?"

Maybe it's different at the 33's!

Nope, it's not different at the 33's. At least not on Party.
