I'm one of those lucky ones, I suppose. Although I tend to seek out the smaller fields, which usually rules out Hold'em on most of my sites. About 150 is the largest I'll tolerate, and then only on a Friday or Saturday (I might moderate that somewhat while on the 3-week break I have planned for October).
Mostly it's 30-70 players, perhaps 3 to 9 paying, usually O8 (fixed or pot limit) or Razz. I seem to be able to cash in about 20% of those. 6th of 162 inthe Stars LO8 on Friday - my favourite event, with 4 cashes in three months or so. Of course the 2nd and 1st in consecutive weeks in July tend to fire up the fondness.
I'm definitely in the tight, tighter, tightest school - I can't find anything to disagree with in Andy's comments. I think the hyper-aggressive style can work really well if you can play more tourneys and have the big-stack bully game sorted out properly. I can manage maybe five MTTs at most in a normal week, so I want to get as deep as possible, even if it can mean bumping along with a below-average stack and hoping to outwait the donkeys.
