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

My experience over here is that the tables tend to have more young players who are trying to play well, they've read a book, and they think poker is a game of skill.

Eventually those young players will have to deal with their egos. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Now when I visit to chow down a Triple Turkey I find that most of the players under 30 and most think poker is all "skill over the long term". Most pots are 3-4 ways for 2 bets. People love saying "did I have odds?" or "what's the right play?".

What limit is that happening at? If they still have the kill game, that could be a factor in busting out newbies too fast.

They took the kill off the mucks 3-6 game already. Word was that players didn't like it. Not really a suprise.

Most of my response was towards live play. At mucks, the games really haven't slowed down much at all. In fact, just before the kill games were put in and the addition of the 6-12(end of november), the 10-20s were going very strong. They were just starting to regularly spread 3 tables at once. Sometimes 4. (4 was unheard of before) Which could mean many are busting out online, figure it's rigged(hear that all the time on live tables) and decide they want it live where they trust it more.

However, I'm watching to see how the 20-40 game will be now that they don't qualify for JPs on it. I think that could affect the game.

For online, I've been seeing more and more posts about the mid limit (and some lower limits) onlines starting to get a little tougher. I play at UB which was known as a little tougher than normal so I may be used to it a little online and not seeing the trend as much.

However, online players will switch around. They may leave the full game to go shorthanded for awhile. Bust out there and try the SNGs or tourneys. They may still be there, just in different spots.

Obviously the bigger limits will feel it first then it will trickle down, to a point. In general, casual players will settle at a limit. Just like they kind of do on live 4-8s and 10-20s.

See ya at mucks sometime!
