Well, played over 3000 hands at 10NL 6-max. Came out in the plus, but when the fish hit the table in packs, its just too much. My graph went from a stairway to heaven to a hyper-hybrid coaster. You just cant play against a group of fish. SOMEONE is bound to draw on you too many times.

Its nice when "A" fish comes to the table, and the case with 25NL seems to be these fish aren't going to mess around with $35 stacks pushing T2s in on you preflop. Feels more like "poker". Don't seem to have as many of these multi-tabling, calculator-program using jackasses either, (don't even get me started on that).

Does it get a little more "poker" feel as you move up in stakes in modern online poker? I haven't been on real tables out of the microstakes in online poker in over 6 years.

The higher you go the more skilled the player. Also skilled at using tracker software and using it to predict what your moves mean.
Re:packs of fish, that depends on your style of play I guess. Don’t try to be clever with them. They’re gonna play their own way, we just have to adapt to them to profit from their bad plays.

The higher you go up the ladder rates, the better the players. I checked it myself, that at higher rates there are less and less fish. Fish-it is always pleasant, but you need to be able to play poker and against professionals.

It would be nice if HUDs were banned from poker forever that is my feeling LOL takes the human element from poker relying purely on the stats can also throw you off when someone starts to shift there gears and go from seeing 50% of there hand to down to 15-20% of there hands they could of started out seeing that many hand because they could of been on a heater when they first came in or just wanted you to think they where a fish and then shifted gears and became the NIT they really were. Then what is your software going to say about that. Nothing it just spits out the average that's what. I do agree that the more professional players play at the higher levels and they do have better moves and plays but they can trick them sevles by begin to tricky some times when they don't connect to the flop and they c-bet and get caught. They make other tricky plays to that they try when they have 3 flushes or three straights that you can catch them doing and get them off of.

Fish in what way? Play the opposite way the table is playing.

In my opinion, if you get good at 50NL online - you are ready to go to the casino and play 2-5 Live (500NL).

You need about 25000 hands to determine if your winning, 3000 hands isn't that many you could achieve that in one day on zoom

What?
I think you have it backwards....
Online removes the human element and tracking software adds it back in by remembering what others did when you played them before.
