When playing online poker one fundamental you will meet is the variation of the competition on the poker table you are sitting at. With players coming and going the competition of the table will change. Sometimes it will be a loose table and other times tight depending on various factors such as your opponents, stacks, table limits etc but the simple rule is that the higher limits the better and harder the competition whilst lower limits tend to be a place for beginners.

Where do I find the soft competition?

Well, one strategy is to visit your poker room and learn how your opponents play, write notes of the poker players in order to choose which players to sit down and play poker with, however, on a poker room with around 50,000 players this will be time consuming and not optimal.

The second strategy is logic and correct for finding soft competition. Beginners up to medium level players will dominate the poker sites offering free poker tournaments or freeroll tournaments. Playing poker for free is something almost every poker player has done in the beginning to learn poker without playing for real money.
The online poker rooms, which tend to attract new poker players, are the ones offering freerolls with real money winnings. It is in these poker rooms you will meet fish competition and easy ways to boost your bankroll and earn money since sharks or better players will be playing poker for higher limits at the bigger and more famous poker rooms.

Here are some examples where you will be able to find more fishes and soft competition poker rooms; Poker.com, Absolute Poker, Titan Poker and Mansion Poker.
