Has online poker gotten tougher to beat in the past year?
 

Assuming ur skill level stayed the same, do u think the avg opponents skill level has improved?

You ask "Has online poker gotten tougher", then you say "Do you think the avg opponents skill level is the same?".. makes for a confusing poll... Also you don't have to have a 'results now' option if you just elect to let people see results without voting.

Anyway, I voted yes, but not incredibly so.

I haven't played live since July I think
I noticed no change previous to that (I started playing 2 years ago)
Definitely enough donks to make most live 20/40 games +++ev

One of my old roommates told me he ventured to the 5/10 at a local casino a few weeks back and there were regularly 5+ players seeing the flop and 3+ at river time. He also said one hand was folded to the blinds in the 6 hours he played.

All looks good there, but only anecdotal evidence.

I have been playing since the week after partypoker opened (used to play at work/ a nice double dip!). It was great then for a long time, then it became tight and I stopped playing for a little while until I joined party poker. That, too became tight so I just played sng's. Then w/ the boom of poker the action became good for a little while again until the rocks caught on....I guess what my long winded post is saying is that it has gotten tougher, but it's cyclical too. Other games are good. 7 stud games are great, but a lot of limit hold 'em games aren't too great.

If it wasn't for the Party split I'd vote yes.
