I'll second that, i just bailed out 7th on the last hand of the $50 $100 level.

I thought the party $10+1's were supposed to be easy!

Some of the variation is seasonal. From now until the beginning of May, you tend to see an increase in the quality of the average player, and a decrease in the growth of the number of players online. Also, the Christmas season is a "peak" time for both quantity and bad quality of players, so we might all be a bit spoiled.

Otherwise, just keep playing and I think some of the "tightness" will even out.

Now that's interesting. I figured that those who are simply maniacally loose have gone bust and given up, but not that it's seasonal. I also figured that a new school of fish will pour in when the WSOP rolls around.

With more data, I'm seeing that they are becoming tighter, but not necessarily better. They are playing tighter, but are still weak. They still play many bad starting hands, but not betting as aggressively and their post-flop play is pathetic. But, instead of a couple of decent players per table, their are maybe five who have the possibility of winning, so it's a might more difficult to get to money. As long as I keep working at it, studying and learning, I'll stay ahead of the curve. I hope.

I'm having pretty much the same results at $20+2.
