Without sitting at your tables for comparison purposes, I can't really say how much they differ (although I will say I've seen some HH in Meale's thread that blow my mind with respect to what holdings get a bunch of $$$ into the middle, so much so that I've stopped responding to HHs there because I feel I have zero handle on that game).
However, I've never said my 1/3 NL tables are horrible. I've won all 8 rec years I've played, and overall to the tune of about 7 bb/hr (although I don't believe that is possible going forward, although admittedly last year I came just shy of that but I'm guessing I ran good). The conditions are admittedly getting worse and worse in every manner, and the game is certainly much worse than what it once was, but whose game isn't. But it is still *very* beatable, and thus can hardly be ranked as horrible. I once played at the Aria for a single hour; no one said a word, everyone had earphones/backpacks, and lol 3x raises were taking it down preflop; stupid small sample size obviously (I was probably sitting at the wrong table, I just wanted a chip for my collection), but that was a horrible game relative to my usual game.
Tying this in with the recent table hopping / seat hopping talk, I think my worsening conditions kind of illustrate this. I'm a big believer in sitting in the best seat at the best table, and have done so as best I can (and as politely and subtlety as I can). However, nowadays I find I don't do it nearly as much; not out of some don't-tap-the-glass reason (everyone is a reg, we all know what is going on, no one is offended, everyone does it for many different reasons with some of them being simply a better view of the big screen TV, etc.), but rather because there typically isn't a "must be at" / "must be in" table / seat as much as there used to be.
