I'm wanting to play against good players. I like competition.
Is there good players at 2nl on stars? seems to be a lot of folding on there.

No quite the opposite. if they are folding all the time i can't win big pots against them when i have a edge. Playing tight keeps them from being exploited. They are playing good hands it seems. I can still steal a lot of blinds and c bet a certain % of the time.

Move up where they don't respect your raises.

so...you are playing against good players.

I'm so confused.....

Maybe best for you to bring in a few racks of black and play at the 250/500 level. Pretty sure you will find the "good players" you are looking for.

Micro stakes...a table full of folders is about the worst situation possible to make much money..,....it's all about pushin' chips back and forth.

Oh wait....are you saying you need a bunch of good LAGs around to play against better players? Find me ONE good LAG in the micros.....let alone 8. No happenin'.

Move up.

Lol, im pretty sure that "2/5 is where the edge is" counts as 4, 3, 2, 1 and maybe some negative integers as well

Call me crazy, BUT I NEVER want to play poker (for money) with good players ,especially folks who are better than me. That's like UNC Charlotte scheduling Alabama for homecoming in football!

Now I might enjoy a game with some of the big names for the celebrity rush, but certainly not to make any money!

Yeah, I'm always looking to play with people with less skill and knowledge, to take their money. I am looking to study and practice with those better than me.

Picking a tougher table should do, moving up a limit if need be, and there is always the zoom.
