Advice for online poker today?

[TheDunePariah]

I have been a long time winner at ssnl but took a pretty extended hiatus where I played only very rarely over the past year and a half (more important personal issues got in the way, boo).

Recently I have started playing again, but find myself a lot more up and down (only a little more up than down, given how many hands I've played) than I used to be. I started playing lower stakes so I can remember how to not suck, planning on moving up again when I gain my confidence back.

Anyway, I started to wonder if maybe I just have not adjusted well to the new overall style of online poker, which has become a lot less fishy, a lot more grindy, and a lot more aggressive since the US legislation was passed.

I guess what I'm wondering is this:
a) has anyone else experienced this type of thing? (namely, not doing as well as they used to, in terms of say, BB/100, since online gambling was shot in the foot)

b) can I get some general tips on playing in today's poker climate? what might I need to do to be successful today that I did not have to do a year and a half ago?

yes, poker is much harder now than it was in the past.

Really dumb question, but which forums constitute strategy?

SSNL strat forum

Id also recommend a video training site, here are a couple to choose from

card runners (the most popular one)
stox poker
deuces cracked (more geared towards limit, but they are adding NL vids, and its run by some really great guys that post here on 2p2 alot)
