Poker has not changed. Not limit poker nor no limit poker. Are there more good players now than 6 or 7 years ago? Yes in no limit. Maybe, but I don't think so in limit. Your complaint is somewhat telling in itself " I can't even win with limpers and cold callers" Now how can that be? If you are as good as you say and as others here seem to think you are there can only be one answer. There are no garauntees in poker. Nothing says that you have to win. There is no such thing as the long run for an individual poker player. I'm not sure but it does appear from your post that you stopped for a while and just got back to playing. Maybe not, maybe you just started losing and can't get back into the winning mode. Either way, if you in fact played winning poker for a significant period of time then you should not change anything. You have to approach every session with confidence that the game you have always played is the game you need to stick with. The only thing that should make you change is proof that you are making neg EV plays. The only way you find that out is to keep, ugh, records of situations that are in question. Otherwise if you were truly a winner stick to your A game and fight on. BTW - I have to listen to one of the most successful 40-80 players around about how he sucks at poker ever time he loses 10k or more during a session. Which happens on a regular basis. Of course when I ask him how he is doing for the year he wimpishly admits to being a big winner.
