How are you going to deal with tougher games in the future?

Be patient and only sit in games that are better than average?
Limit the amount of poker you play?
Move down in stakes?

The poker boom is slowing, the number of new players and gambling types is now dwarfed by the number of players who are trying to play well.

The big difference that I see?
The boom has changed the perception of poker from that of a gambling game into one that requires skill.

This is bad
for anyone who enjoys winning when they play poker. If everyone is trying hard to win it's going to be a much tougher proposition.
Now many new players play micro-limits online instead of testing their luck at 10-20. Or maybe the tried 4-8 a few times and lost, and so now they're learning the game online.

How are you going to deal with it if your winning game is slowly overcome by a lack poor players, the rake, and variance?

Do you have any proof of these happenings, or are you just assuming everyone's passing you by ?
