I don't understand the point about action flops, maybe I play differently than some people but I'm more prone to fold on an action flop than call or raise. Why would PP put as many scare cards as possible on the flop only to have most players, or at least tight players, fold immediately. Three to a straight or flush on board and I'm more likely than not to fold my top pair, depending on my outs and the size of the bet. I've also noticed that in spite of what some of these posts say, people often play VERY tight at the lower no-limit tables, often just the top 10 or 20 hands, I don't find this to be particularly suspicious regarding any mode of cheating. However, sometimes it's very predictable, great for bluffers and sharks. If I see someone playing like a megalomaniac, I'll find a better table. And to conservative players on PP, hit and runs can make you quite a few dollars without ever giving any of the players info about your long term play. Buy in on a $25NL with about $10, wait for the nutz, double up and leave, all the while taking notes on the other players. Because of the blinds you may only walk away with about 17 or 18, but it's an easy way to slowly fill your bankroll (and you can only lose ten bucks at a time). Also, lots of fish on the .50/1.00 BEGINNERS table, but watch out for lucky draws. Raising with beginners is often a fruitless effort due to all the calling stations, so just be patient. As for the conspiracy theories floating around the internet about cheating (other than collusion), I just simply have to laugh. Long live party poker and I'll see you at the tables.
