Default HUSNGS -- Have the games gotten tougher?

I've only played on PokerStars, but, over the past year the games to me seem tougher. There are less poor opponents, and you won't find as many players playing super loose games. They do exist, but they aren't thriving. Has anyone else noticed this?

For those of you who have had subpar results in the past few months, have you considered that its a result of this?

you are likely getting worse, they aren't getting better. if anything, i'd say there just about as bad as they were before UIGEA. Over time, if you dont push yourself, bad poker habits will set in.....so us veterans are more susceptible to thinking that the games are getting hard if we are not constantly improving....

BUT I ASSURE U, 99% of people online suck at this game.

Maybe they've all moved to Full Tilt?

Because I swear to god, even as high as $100s, I see *soooo* few good players at the HUSNGs, and so many superdonks.

I hear recommendations from people who play on pokerstars that would have you passing up *way* too much value, or folding the best hand far too often to have any hope of winning, against the average player on full tilt.

I haven't played on stars, but it really sounds like there's a huge difference in the playerbase between the two.

i'd say they suck on both sites up to the 550s. I mean sure, there are some good players there at the bigger games around the 550s but the players in general suck major ass......I've made like 8K in <2 months just at the 115s and I dont even [censored] play that much...
