It depends on the kind of bad player you're talking about. If he's a hit TPGK or fold type then you don't need cards that good. If he's an ATM machine, I would want a hand I'd be more willing to drive hard the whole way.

20$ is rarely going to get the blinds out in the UB game, is the stars game really this tight?

it will get them out some of the time, plus it prevents limpers. araise to 30 will get the blinds out most of the itme

I am currently playing Prima NL when I play online NL.

I am asking around to find the best NL site for mid NL ($300-800 buy ins).

what do you guys think of stars and UB for those levels?

I rarely every play the 5-10 on stars, it often looks so bad with flop %s hovering around the mid teens or twenties. The UB game is often tight (though not as much), but has occasions where it is incredibly good.

From what I hear, stay at prima.
