Have HE games gotten wilder lately?

[Al Schoonmaker]

The post will go on three forums: Poker Psychology, Low Stakes HE, and Mid-limit HE.

For more than a month the low and middle stakes HE games in Las Vegas have been much wilder than usual. For a column I'm writing I would like to know whether games have gotten wilder in your area. If they have become wilder or more conservative, would you please tell me what you think is the cause.

Naturally, my friends and I have some ideas about these reasons, but I won't say what they are now. I don't want to influence your answer.

If you would like to receive an emailed copy of the column, just let me know. I can't email it until after publication in September or so.

Thank you for your cooperation.
