MT Sharks Killed the 5-10 6max Already?

[billyjex]

I have been doing my part in keeping the 5/10 6-max games good. Find me at the tables, I suck.

I finally have got a decent amount of datamining on the players at 5/10 and needless to say I'm shocked at how loose these players are. I can see how this game is profitable for good players.

I am prepared to believe that the games are not as good as once they were. Apparently I missed out on the golden age of online poker a year to 18 months ago when I was playing no-limit on Stars.

Nevertheless the games are very very soft. I know this because I win in them, and I basically suck.

I welcome tight multitablers in my games. They're especially easy to read and they usually get false reads about me(I come off as a LAG).

Just made it to the 5/10 SH games, so I've got no idea what they were like. I suck (see previous PT post for proof) and I'm taking 1.5BB/100 off the tables. This suggests the games are still pretty soft.

When i was playing the 5-10 6 max, which i was up until 2 months ago, the play was pretty poor overall.

I agree.

The change I've observed has happened in those last two months. Many of the new, better players weren't even in my database.

I started playing 5/10 6m in January. There you go.

I don´t think anything substantial happens in 2 months, so my guess is you are running bad and attributing it to better play by others. Although I don´t play the 5/10 since 4 months so can´t really say more than that it sounds unlikely. All those fish don´t go broke THAT fast.

Best thing said in this thread. Like there were 25 really skilled players not playing - only learning TOP by heart - and then suddenly they all jumped into 5/10 and multitabled and killed it all. Yeah, sure.

If games are getting tougher it is slowly as long as not something abnormal happens, like 10/20SH is closed down.

FWIW,

The 5/10 game is currently noticably more difficult than it was 6 months ago. And, if you thought the games 6 months ago were a cakewalk you really should have seen them 12-18 months ago.

Regardless, for any "capable" player the game is fairly easy to beat for at least 1 bb/100.
