Default Interesting Poker Stars Observation

Just started playing PokerStars and I have noticed something at the low limits --

Not only are the bad players just as fishy as Party, but many of them multi-table. So, you have multiple chances to take their money.

I had players at $1-$2 flagged as fish, and saw a lot of bad play. Then noticed those same players at 3 and 4 tables.

Party's fishiness as compared to Stars has always been overblown IMO. Don't get me wrong, Party is probably the fishiest, but not much more so than Stars. There's plenty of money to be made in those games (up to and including $200NL at least).

I'am about 25k hands into limit.05/.10 on PS. (BB/100 4.5) My observation is.. anyone with a child or self portrait as their avatar is an ATM. It's a vague assumption but steadily being proven.

hit up the golfers and baseball players too. The golf/fishiness correlation is fully rubber stamped in my book in gold ink. baseball pics arent far behind.

That's about what I saw there.

I'm at .10/.20 now though... and they're still donks.

Yeah...we had a thread about this probably about a year ago or so I think (and I'm pretty sure it comes up occasionally).

Usually any Rounders reference is likely to be golden also.

Now...if you have a baby WITH a rounders-reference....You're not leaving the table until they do!!
