Re: Is 10/20 like 4x harder than it was 1-2 years ago?
My thesis, FWIW, has been that the Monster would make the games temporarily easier and long-term harder, and the effect would be more pronounced the lower you go.
I started playing 10/20 last November, and FWIW I don't think it's tougher than at any point since then, but it is tied for toughest. Plus there are some very strange lines being played in the last month or so. I've played lots of different limits in the last couple of months so maybe they're not strange lines, it's just me not adjusting.
My historical opinion on level of difficulty. Everything is relative to Party 10/20, of course (for any dork who comes in and says OMFG PARTY 10/20 IS EZ U PEOPLE CANT PLAY POSTFLOP)
November, December 2005 -- Easy
January-March 2006 -- Difficult
April 2006-July2006 -- Medium, trend getting easier
August 2006 -- Easy
Sept 2006 -- Medium to difficult, but mostly just weird
