When does poker get hard?

I think this is not a stupid question. Assuming we are just talking about online there is a curve. 5 cent/10 cent no limit is a strange game filled with beginners, terrible players and people who only have a few bucks left in their account and play strangely. At 50NL you still don't need to bluff AT ALL to be a very successful player because getting paid off is so easy. I think at each increment new wrinkles get tossed in. There seems to be a lot of dogshit play at the higher levels too so who knows.

It isn't a stupid question, the problem with it is that there is no correct answer.

It is player dependent. For me I don't think it will ever be hard. For others, they can't beat NL 100.

A better question might be, how does the game change as I move up limits.
