Default $11\'s at Party seem very tight lately...

I have noticed lately that many of the $11 Party games seem very tight. I seem to be struggling at level 5-6 because there are frequently still 6-8 people left and everyone basically has an average stack. I have basically started playing it like the bubble, but often when I am in the SB-Button the pot has been raised or several limpers so I can't push unless I have a hand.

Has anyone else noticed this? Any ideas on how to adjust?

Here is my final hand in a game that has seemed "common" to me lately... it was the 48th hand with blinds going up to t200 in 2-3 hands...

I did not like the UTG limp, but in 3 hands I would have no FE... not that I do here...

It is just that about 30% of my finishes this weekend were in 4th-5th place towards the end of level 5 and going into level 5 there were 6-8 people... I don't know I guess it was in my head... can I still delete this thread?

meh, I've been running a little breakeven there but it's mostly because were getting 5-handed in level 3 and my stack is 700, while the average is 14-1500. I hate to burst your bubble, but I don't think they are getting tougher...unless your horribly shortstacked like our examples.

I think this is a form of variance. Play in the evenings, between 8:00 PM and 11:30 EST and I don't think you will see this. I get on streaks like this, where I run into the only 9 other tight players for a few SNG's but then things return to the norm.
