Desperately seeking help on my game

This shouldn't be used as an excuse, but I'm pretty sure the games have toughened up a bit. I am usually pretty skeptical about this, as various claims to it have occurred regularly over the year or so I've been following this board.

But, just too many players I know to be solid players, including myself, are finding it increasingly difficult to crank out the 30-40% ROI they have been consistently cranking out over the past year.

Over my first 1000+ tournaments at the 20 and 30 level on party poker, I was a ~30% ROI player 4 tabling. The tide has seemingly turned, however, and now, over my last 300 SNG's I am looking at a barely positive ROI of about 2%.

These numbers are statistically significant. Over 99% confidence you draw conclusion that these two are not from the same mean(ROI). You can almost eliminate randomness as a cause. Therefore, assume your absolute skill does not decrease, Yes, the game is getting harder. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
