Been away from poker for a while, but has the game got tougher over the last few months or is it just me out of practise? Ring games in particular - there are far fewer fish than there used to be. Did they all just go broke or did the US ban take out all the casual players? I play mostly on Pacific, which used to be as fishy as hell. There's still poor players on there, but not like the good ole' days. So anyone know where all the fish have gone?

thats a pretty cool graph. and it solidifies what we all are thinking.

the fish, although still around, are fewer in numbers...and more sharks are out to claim their prize.

now we will see the Darwinian effects start to take over. the better sharks will grow fat still, but the wimpy sharks will shrivel up and possibly find another hobby.
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!
