Empire sharks gone? Or rock garden?

Playing Tournaments(10s, 20s, MTT) and 1/2-3/6 6 max, is Empire better off in their games now as far as ease? Or is Party the champion in having fish at these games?

I know that the split from Party caused many people to leave but perhaps those people leaving were those who were more skilled?

Dont bother unless you use extreme table selection. Ie have a stash there and if you see a good table play in it. Most tables are extremely weak tight. I think the site is only good for bonus chasing at this point. The 1/2 and .5/1 maybe unbeatable with the horrible 10 percent rake to 10 bucks.....

I have been crushing the .50/1 6 max games at Empire lately...partly because of a good run, but the players are terrible also. There are still lots of players with stats like 65/40/2.5 And since there are less players, the chances of running into the fish greatly increases. My last few sessions, I have noticed that I have accidentally sat down at the same table as one of my favorite players.

Yeah that is the only good game left. Dont ask me but the last time I played in it I got crushed, but it wasn't like I was losing to rocket scientists. So I could attribute it to variance........
