Default Absolute vs. Party, $1/$2 6max

I cut my teeth in 6max playing at Absolute - fairly small sample size so far but I am 2BB+/100. I feel my game is reasonable sharp with lots of aggression... but anyways, I started playing Party 6max lately and what a difference!! I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about, people calling everything with anything.. how does one adjust from a tight/super-aggressive strategy to suit this kind of table? TAA just doesn't seem to work at Party... any and all comments are appreciated

Also side note concerning PT, is there a quicker way to find an opponents AF rather than thru the 'More Detail' tab?

party is softer, Absolute is tight.

We love fish.

Lower your PF a little, get that VPIP and PFR up! The looser they are the looser you can play, just so long as your average starting hand is better than theirs. Find a couple of fish and sit to their right; milk em for all theyre worth.

Just my $0.02.

They both have free money. At Party you get it from other players. At Absolute you get it from the site.

I personal think you can make more at Party then you can make at ABS. with bonus. Then again I don't think someone should be player 1/2 to make money. The object should be to get better. IMO, you can do this best on Party were you will be able to develupe things like good table selection and play against the kinds of players you have to learn to beat. i.e. bad players Learning how to beat TAG's is useful as you more up, but learning how to beat LAG's and fish are far more valuable because these are the people you have to beat and beat bad to be a winning player.

I agree completely.
I checked my per hour stats.
I make more at party from straight up play than at Absolute with bonus and rakeback
