"Soft" is in the eye of the beholder. When I hear players asking for where the soft games are, I think of those players as bum-hunters.
Think of poker like a vampire movie.
The fish are the normal mortals running around living their lives.
The sharks are the vampires who prey on the mortals.
But... If you can become a Vampire Hunter, then ALL GAMES ARE SOFT GAMES.
As for "soft games" the one thing I will say is for me personally,
its more a matter of WHEN than WHERE.
8am - 4pm is the worst time to play since its usually full of props, nits, or old man coffee types playing on their SSN nut...
5pm - 11pm is a great time to play.
11pm - 4am is degen gamboooler paradise
. Players are coming in drunk from the club and don't want the fun to end, or have run good in the pit games and want to take shots or have run bad in the pit games and tilting trying to win it back
Similarly, players that have been grinding all day have HUGE stacks so there is plenty of money on the table.
