Seriously think that through dude. That means that pro poker players, who are nearly all massive bumhunters, are deliberately moving to casinos where it's harder to play.
Come on man.
The only bad thing about playing in big rooms is that there are way more good players as people have mentioned. So game selection comes into play more because you can end up in a game that is all relatively good players.
Of course you also get the benefit of getting to game select into really great games that are full of way more fish with way more money than the smaller rooms (which usually corresponds to less wealth in the surrounding area) in the larger rooms. Obviously the tradeoff is distinctly in favor of the larger rooms, but there may be something to PB's notion that the smaller rooms are "easier" to beat for a small win-rate. But harder/impossible to beat for the larger rates that major market rooms give you the chance for.
