I didn't really explain myself well on that post did I?
 
What I really wanted to explain was that when there are 5 people in every pot, when every hand has a show down the skill factor is minimized greatly.  How often have you had AA or KK in a online SNG and pushed and got 2 callers 1 with Q7o and another with AJo and Q7 gets there.
 
This is why game selection is important.  There is no reason to play in a STT or cash game with 6 crazy players.  If they are raising and reraising every hand with ATC it makes the game extremely difficult to put people on a range of hands.  The first thing I do if I see someone raise or limp up front I decide the range of hands they might have, I then assign a range of hands in which I can call with, a range I can raise with, and and the rest I fold.  Of course I mix it up from time to time as well, but most online players have NO range they can play ATC's, they'll call a reraise almost all the time with ATC's ect.  Playing lower limit SNG's, MTT's, or cash games is really a game of Dodge the Donk.  The problem is the Dodge the Donk is not a game of skill.  You can make the correct dicision like just pushing when there is plenty in the pot and you have AA - the problem is you then have to dodge the donk calls which anywhere from 1 - 5 are calling.  It makes it difficult to play that style.
