Default Are the glory days over?

It seems like the $100 6-max NL tables at PP are not nearly as profitable as they were 6 or even 3 months ago. Is it just me having some short term bad luck?

At a 6-max table, it used to be me, 2-3 fish, 2-3 average guys, and maybe 1 other solid player. Now it's 2-3 solid to rockish guys, me and maybe one fish.

Plus it seeme like the fish are crazier too. No more call every hand fish. Now it's call every hand, raise most hands, and have 2nd nuts when you have 3rd nuts fish.

Is it just me?

I've been running at over 9 PTBB/100 ever since the Monster promotion started. You're probably just running bad (and I'm probably just running good FWIW).

cts talks about this in the well thread, but table selection is important, especially at 6 max. Don't play at a table that doesn't have any fish at it.

It's just you. You just wrote that you're running bad.

I think you're running bad and have awful table selection. I switched from limit and ran at a good clip for a little over 15k hands at nl100 (party poker). Then moved up. I have little trouble finding a table with 2-3 fish, and 2 average players. The non-monster tables occasionally have a few sharks and one fish. And then I switch to another table.

Yep. Party, Stars, FT and UB have been invaded by about 100,000 pros who have agreed to split up the various limits and suck the rest of us dry.

They're getting tighter. But people still can't play NLHE properly.
