it's out of question that the aggressiveness in games has SKYROCKETED.

I glossed over this the first time I read it, but really, you have no clue what games were like at high stakes 2-3 years ago.

2-3 years ago on Interpoker, if you were to put how I play today into those lineups, I would often be the weak-tight passive player.

IMO, as far as LHE goes, those games were the first of the LAG short handed games, with lineups consisting of the likes of mostly Scandinavian LAGs such as Jarle, Keyser, TLK, Max Muller, and to a lesser LAG extent, Lagerborg. These were often the games Tommy and I were playing in, and to comment on games from years ago that you have no clue about doesn't add anything to the discussion -- cuz frankly, I think the old Crytpo games were often more aggro than the ones we play in today.

I sat in a few of those games towards the end of their cycle I guess since I wasn't ballin' out like Schneids for quite so long. Sick aggro for sure. Felt like today's games IMO, but my experience was limited to a dozen sessions or so, thus I'm no expert.

Many of those names still scare the crap out of me...

I was going to say the same thing as Schneids except I don't play much LHE these days so I couldn't be sure about how aggro games are now.

Anyway you can only go so far with being aggressive before it just becomes spewage, so it's not like even if the games these days are super-duper aggressive that that's necessarily a bad thing.
