Default Best site for my playing style

This may have been addressed at some point, but I've searched the forums and haven't been able to find it.

Right now I'm playing Party NL 50. I 4 table (usually ring games, although I do about as well in 6 max) and basically nut peddle/play ABC poker. I don't have hard stats on this, but I estimate I make about $15 an hour doing this.

My friend, who I believe is a significantly worse poker player than I, deposited $150 into Pacific Poker. He started nut peddling too, made some money, quickly moved up to the NL 200 table, and now has made about $1000 in the last few days. His claim: players are signficantly looser/worse on Pacific than Party (even at higher limits), so our strategy pays off much more.

My question: is he right, and if so, which poker sites have the worst players?

making $15/hour 4 tabling party 50 is real low IMO.

oh and pacific generally has the worst players due to their affiliation with casino-on-net. try the software though, youll probably hate it.

you'll hate to hear this, but worry more about your play than your opponents'. adapting to the play of different levels/tables/sites is part of being a good player.

I wasn't aware that pacific had NLHE, did this happen recently?

Also, can you multitable at pacific?

Also, IT'S BEEN TWO DAYS!

Just thought I'd point that last part out.

My favorite site for ABC nut-peddling is Absolute poker. Nut-peddling works best when blinds are small relative to stack-size, and Absolute has a 200bb max buy-in. There are maybe 5 regulars who are decent and they all play that way. Only downside is that the action is sparse at full-ring tables except on weekends (usually 1 table going at each limit over $0.50)

Nut-peddling is boring as hell, but hey, if you need to pay the bills...

I've played both sites and can tell no difference between quality of opposition, that is they are both full of fish. However as others have pointed out the software on Pacific is absolutely horrible. That and they are one of the few(maybe the only) sites that don't allow multi-tabling, which makes it pretty worthless as far as earning money goes. You can make 4X as much playing on Party against opponents who are just as bad if not worse. As far as your friend making a grand in the last few days, this is meaningless. Not nearly enough hands played to make any kind of assumption as to whether or not he can sustain that, and even if he can that is really not that good for a $200 table. JMO
