Bigger Tables harder game?

[OTTOMAN POKER]

İt it always said that, as table size grows, tougher the game is. What I wonder is, when I look at the table stats, there is no difference in "Flop Percentage" and "Pot size in terms of BB".

At least, shouldn't we see lower average pot (in terms of BB) in bigger tables, if players are tougher. (More sharks, less fish...)

I don't know where you heard this. The more possible seats, the more possible fish. The games aren't tougher, but your winrate ceiling is smaller compared to 6max or HU. Fullring is known for the worst quality of play. You have to play tighter compared to 6max or HU, but the fish don't adjust their starting hand range and play way too loose to have a chance to win in the long run. That's why there is no different in Flop Percentage. As for pot size, I'd bet fullring has bigger pots.

No, no... I mean the size of the game money. 0.02/0.04 and more...

For example; 0.02/0.04 table and 0.25-0.50 table has same average pot value in terms of BB and also has the same flop rate.

Oh haha. Well there's bad players everywhere. There are better players when you move up, but it's exaggerated how many there are and how good they are. There's still lots of fish no matter where you go.

Ok. From that explanation, what I understand is, "Fish rate is same, sharks rate is same, but you see better sharks..."

Sometimes you can find bigger fish at 200nl and 400nl than 50nl, because they're live casino degen fish that want to play the 'same' stakes online that they do live, without realising or caring that it's so much harder online.

But with those fish will come better regs, as mentioned. Waitlists can be 30 players deep for tables with a big fish at 1/2, all pros.

There are russian TAGs mass-tabling 10nl and 25nl nowadays, because making $1k/month after rakeback is a huge amount of money out there, and in fact most countries.

At any stake, game selection is key

the higher limits, the better the sharks are at exploiting the other sharks and the better the "regs" "sharks" whatever you call are, the better they are at taking the fish's money faster.
