I can't speak for the last 6months or so but prior to this the CAP games were significantly harder then they started out as in February of 2011. Basically in February of 2011 you could pretty much load up 16 tables, blindly open X ranges from X spots, blindly open like 80-100% sb v bb and just play shove/fold v sb opens or v CO/BTN opens from the BB and you'd have a nice consistent winrate unless you were playing <1/2. By the end of 2011 if you were blindly doing any of these things you would be getting absolutely CRUSHED by "almost" every reg. Not omg -5bb/100 crushed because that can't really happen in 6m CAP but you would be losing money for sure.

I would assume the game has evolved quite a bit over the past year and if you aren't playing your A game at all times you are definitely not going to be a winner.

tl;dr Two years ago even the BEST short stack players were just absolutely terrible except maybe like Quixtar and a couple of the best MTT/HU SNG players. Now even the worst players are "okay".

edit: Also the biggest problem with CAP at the moment is the fact that it's raked 5% at every stake but the cap is essentially the same which is obviously pretty retarded for a whole bunch of reasons which has been said many times before.
