there's a lot of talk here that .5/1.0 games are getting tougher, etc. I've also noticed here as of late that that 'newbie' and 'enthusiasts' are posting here a lot more. I think this is all a sign that the low limit guys we all used to win money from are slowly deciding to become educated in the game.

I'm seeing a lot more tables with 7 players with VPIP < 20% and a couple loose fish. Sometimes there's just one or two players with 40%-ish VPIP and eight guys with < 20%.

So, yeah, I think the games are getting tougher.

PFR generally isn't going up (yet), so the world has not ended.

At least on Stars, i'm noticing all the same rocks crowding around the fish pond. It's irritating.

And the the low preflop raises are good for my little suited aces suited kings. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

If what you guys want is a really easy game, allow me to suggest a game of Scrabble against fourth graders.

sounds like we need more 2c/4c stars 2+2 games to learn how to pwn tags

Someone can see <20% of the flops and spew chips like mad after the flop.

Naw, I played at a table today that had a vpip of 48 and pf raise % of zero. Maybe that's getting more rare but the fish are still calling to the river with Ace high.

I hope they become so smart that they want to move up.

For every 1 that gets "smart" there are 10 new and old ones that don't. Eventually it will all dry up and then we'll be playing each other until we realize we're not smart either.

The sky isn't falling, and I'm sure you'll find this exact post made 3 years ago.

Give it just a little more time.

When the WSOP Main Event starts on ESPN, you'll probably see a flood of fish.

And limping 65s in EP because Doyle says to. Oh, and LRR those pocket rockets because you don't want to scare anyone away. (By the way, you must use the term 'pocket rockets'. It's vital to being successful in poker. That and 'big slick'.)

I find that J4o is also a reasonable candidate for a UTG limp re-raise. I like to call it 'big schlongie'.

I agree. Maybe not here, but there's always one on the front page of the zoo. I'm going to lock this thread so it dies.
