The reason I ask is that it's a complete fish-fest.

I do alright on the Limit ring games because playing good odds will always win in the long run, but I've just been knocked off the final table of 4 consecutive 45 man $12 sngs by having.....

KK cracked all-in preflop against 10 4 suited
AA cracked all-in preflop against Q2os
A set on the flop cracked by a runner-runner flush
JJ cracked after a 4bb raise UTG against 52os on sb

How can you ever get any better playing against this kind of opposition? I notice alot of people move away from stars when taking poker seriously, is this something I should consider or am I just having a bad run?
