Been away for one month... what has happened game has changed

[AZDezertRat]

play mostly 1/2 6 max on Ft and a little 2/4 too.

i took a month off, played in some mtts and sngs for a break and decided last night to start playing some ring again.

I was a 4ptbb/100 winner and felt like i had a good read on most tables. well 3 hours last night and 2 hours tonight and i am lost.

Am i imagining this or am i right... blinds dont fold to raises any more, more people than ever call raises and less than half of the people that used to fold to c bets do. i almost feel the cbet is not profitable anymore. I feel like i need to tighten up more than ever and only play real premium hands and i even when i did that i still got stacked when with 3 limpers in 1/2 i raised pre to 15 with KK, still got 2 callers and on a 842 board got stacked when got all in with 89o and the 9 hit... i dont care about the hand just showing they are calling big raises with nothing..

Advice to get me from tilting please

Thanks

didn't you get the memo?

just adjust to the game, if they arent folding, don't bluff. simple.

didnt get it i was on the mtt tables... but is it just me, is it jsut a strange thing i am experiencing or is it happening? Yea its not like im bluffing bad i am running 20/15 so i am not out of control by any means.

poker is still rigged

i would start by being bold and aggressive and probably putting someone to a decision for all of his/her chips.

I have noticed it too. Just an evelution of the game. I have actually just become more passive, only reraising when i have a monster AA, KK and calling in position with other strong hands. Also when i do raise pre i will alway c bet unless 3 have called then i will only cbet if i hit (depends on read). You are right they are not folding to raises and reraises anymore because people were doing it light for so long so use that to your advantage. Also if you cbet and they have position, if it is a safe board let them bluff you on the turn because they will. Also i fire the second barrel a lot more than i used to but again that is read dependant. I find a lot more people who are playing with 40vpip pre flop than there was a month ago. you will learn to adjust.
