Two sites can play very differently.
I play on Americas Cardroom (large player pool) and on Juicy Stakes Poker (very small player pool.) Good heads-up players have a big advantage in JSP tournaments, because with very small fields you're going to be heads-up a lot more often. Players in general seem to be much weaker on JSP, perhaps in part because it's impossible to put it nearly the tournament time that you can on ACR.
The level you're playing can matter as well. In a $1 tournament limping, calling and min-raising is common. If you're playing a $10 tournament the players won't be nearly as passive.
Even the day of the week can matter. Weekend warriors don't have much play experience so there will be more players, many of them weak, on a Saturday night.
There will be a greater percentage of serious players on Tuesday, the day when the fewest people are playing. Casual players have to go to work. They can't play all night because they have to get up for work the next day (my wife's alarm goes off at 0415.)
