Best site & time of day for 25NL/50NL

I've only ever played on stars, and there it seems like there's more 25NL FR games than any other FR limit.

I'm eventually planning to move up to 50NL after the conclusion of my next operation (I think I'll call it "operation patience"), but the relative lack of FR games has me concerned that I'll have to move to 6-max, which I'm not that comfortable with. 25NL with it's ease of finding 30%+ VP$IP tables may be making me too soft for the relatively tighter 50NL.

Should I just move to 6-max now and get it over with, or just play in more peak times? Weekends during the day (EST) seem good, but I like to play weekday nights also...

I suppose you've from US, right?
Then I think your only options are Stars, Full Tilt and Ultimate ... I hear that Ultimate is quite soft.

im pretty sure theres not a lack of FR games at stars untill like 400nl. Spoon plays 18 tables of 200nl, so i would think that there would be plenty of tables at 50nl/100nl

Canada actually...I can still deposit with moneybrookers.com! Dunno what sites will have me...

Yeah I was wondering about how spoon manages to find 10+ tables of even 100NL. Sometimes I'll go check em' out and there's like 1 or 2 FR 100NL tables available and they're like 17% and 20% VPIP. I'm not used to playing at tables that tight. When I'm at a 25NL table that tight I just bail on it cause I find them consistently unprofitable. Irritating to almost never get your sets paid off :x

Never had a problem getting 14 going. I guess if you're a table selection nit there might not be enough good tables....

Man, it looks like stars is the place to be. Strangely their numbers seem to show at least as many FR games as 6-max up to about 400NL, which really contradicts my personal experience of seeing 20 6-max tables with spots open, and only like 5 FR tables. Maybe 6-max tables are just more likely to have spots open?

Try turning of the full table filter, and start getting on waiting lists, not just jumping in available seats

That's a good idear...it never even occured to me. I've had the full tables turned off since I was an impatient 2-tabler who'd post BB from MP, looking for instant gratification.

Now that I've become somewhat of a more patient 9-tabling grinder I guess waiting in a few lines for the tables wouldn't kill me...
