I agree that a mix of players is ideal. If you have 7-9 fish at the table seeing the flop when you have AK (for example), even if you hit an A or a K there are so many hands out there that two pair/set is LIKELY. So it is hard to bet out, get 4-5 calls and then bet out again on the turn, and have any confidence that you are ahead in the hand. Against mostly solid players you are essentially carving up the fishes chips between you.
As they said in Rounders....
"we weren't really playing together, but we weren't playing against eachother either."
or something like that. The predictability of the solid players leaves the best hand vs the fish (or two) holding second best hands most of the time. This is a good situation IMO. Too many fish tend to leave even the best hands in a vulnerable situation unless you improve.
