Default Still playing Skins?

How many of you gave up on the skins after the party change and after revealing your screennames? I can still seem to find pretty good games thru Empire even during the day.

You have to hop tables a bunch, but it isn't different than any other smallish site.

I cleared the Empire bonus the last two days. At 1/2, I could only find 3 good tables the entire time. I did find one good 3/6 table (42 V$IP) and played .5/1 for the first time as some LAGs were there. Overall, not an enjoyable experience.

One other point is that the tables were better 5-8 PST than 11-1 am PST. After 11, the tables sucked.

i'm playing 200nl 6max and some 30/50 sngs on eurobet today. The limit games suck but its easy to make money off of weak/tights at nl 6max.

Seems like everyone in the 10/20 limit games are turning SUPER LAG. I don't think I've seen a single hand that was not raised PF and I'd say 30% or more of all hands are 3-bet PF.

I kept getting repeatedly raped by the huge lag at that table. Lost my entire $600 bonus deposit in under an hour at 5/10. Fun time.

I just moved to short handed, so I have no idea how the games are supposed to be. That being said, I'm still at empire, and the games seem ridiculous. I'm playing somewhere between 3/6 and 5/10, and at both limits, there are plenty of really bad players. I'd say the majority are LAG or TAG with decent preflop standards, but they get out of line. Aside from these players, every other table or so usually has a really bad (40+ VPIP) player, and maybe even two.

The play at 5/10 6-max seems horid, and I am comming from 2/4 or 3/6 full ring game. I dunno if this is regular or what, but I still appreciate the Empire games.

I'm playing some 10/20 at stars until the dust settles. Games are pretty good actually, but very few of them running in non-peak hours.
