I usually play $2/$4 or $3/$6 LHE, occasionally stepping up to $5/$10. Played >20K hands at each level, profitably. I say this not to boast but to preface.

Withdrew some funds to pay debts, so reduced bankroll has led me back to $1/$2 for a while. Played Party $1/$2 LHE the last 4 days, somewhere >1,000 hands. Down 60BBs. I've switched tables a lot and played tight (e.g., folding Axs and small pps EP, only playing 87s and 98s with at least 3 others in), not super-aggressive but not weak-tight either.

My basic comment is "WHAT THE F*CK?" There are TAGs all over the place, and nobody seems to be making any money. Seriously, I don't know why any player with profit motive was interested in playing these tables, as nobody's stack increased any significant amount over hours of play.

Anybody have a similar experience? Just a bad run? Doesn't make any sense to me and is maddening.
