best poker if you want the easiest opponent selection possible.
It feels like every time I sit down at a No Limit Holdem table lately, I end up surrounded by folks who clearly spend half their life watching solver videos. Maybe I’m just getting unlucky with my seat draws, but it's getting tougher to find legit soft tables where the skill gap is obvious. Is there a better poker variant or site structure for picking off the most casual players without having to hunt all night? I keep hearing mixed things about PLO and even mixed games, but the last thing I want is to run into a bunch of specialists who treat the game like chess. Anyone got any recent experience or advice?

Nah, the “better variant” thing is the wrong hunt. The easiest seats I’ve found are low-stakes tournaments on rooms pushing sportsbook promos during NFL weekends, same crowd that sprays parlays will torch chips postflop, and that’s been way more reliable than chasing some exotic format.
Slots guys in cheap MTTs are softer than Zoom, by plenty.
NFL weekends, sure, but blackjack side-bet guys are the same species. Saw a $55 donk punt three bullets before first break.
