Re: Is 10/20 like 4x harder than it was 1-2 years ago?
Climber, like you, I was 2+ bb/100 from about 6/2004 through 5/2005. Between 5/2005 and 9/2005 it was about 1-1.5 bb/100. I took a break from poker for a few months after that.
Came back in 2/2006 and was shocked at the difference. At the time I attributed the difficulty to rust, but now I don't think so. Like you, again, I consider myself a better poker player now. In my mind, there's no question that the games are significantly harder. I think the days of 2+ bb /100 over the medium- to long-term are gone for now. To grind out even just 1 BB/100 I think you need to be disciplined and patient.
I'm not sure the 10/20 is even a viable option for making a professional earn anymore (at least not what it once was).
