I am certainly not saying it's a bad thing to be at a table like this. But for a player just moving up, they shouldn't be looking for high variance spots.
The way I wrote that was wrong... "That leads me to believe that you like games..." was meant to be more along the lines of "That leads me to believe that you're suggesting to op to play in games like..."
Some follow up comments: its my belief that too many players approach those kind of games the wrong way. Variance isnt the main problem, its how they approach the game. They bleed money in the wrong spots, and make the wrong adjustments/arent adjusting correctly.
If you approach it the right way, you can abuse such games to the point of it getting almost ridicilous. But, it demands that you are there with full concentration and observe how the games play with an attentionlevel of a whiteshark circling in on blood in the water. You need to pay attention if you want to be able to know what the correct adjustments is when you actually sit in a game like this.
Its so so much you can pick up on and exploit it like crazy. Not to forget players that makes huge mistakes like:
1) C-betting too much multiway into the field on autopilot
2) Losing their patience when the fish play garbage- wich causing them to try and bluff callingstations with zero fold button= lightening money on fire
3)Raising a too wide isolationrange preflop when you often get called by the world+ compounding this mistake with number 1.
4) Losing huge amount of value by betting on autopilot in all spots and using "standard" betsizes,when they play against stations that is willing to pay off huge in many spots: if you just give them the chance of doing so.
