the players need to know this is problem. I know a place where Intelligent Minds come to gather, where REAL CHANGE can happen.
There is a forum on a site involving many poker players called NEWS VIEWS GOSSIP. I will post this information on this site and sow the seeds of change... Once done, the rest is in the hands of the viewers...
Pretty easy to say when you're one of the top players in the world and make millions from the game. Not all of us are going to have an edge against 99.9% of players.
It's ridiculous what goes on even at micros nowadays. Join 5-50NL ZOOM and just look at what's happening. Fish not playing as often and not even stacking off super light when they do. Regs 3-bet bluffing everywhere. People 4bet bluffing with polarized ranges. All sorts of **** that was unthinkable a few years ago. Sure, the games are still easy to beat because most regs are bad, apply concepts incorrectly, tilt, etc. but I hate to think what's going to happen over time. Nowadays your average Joe that devotes a lot of time to the game struggles to even beat SSNL. It's resulted in everyone seat scripting and bum hunting since hardly anyone can beat the rake.
I hate to imagine what happens 2-3 years from now. Is 10NL going to be full of regs who have good mindset, know GTO ranges and have balanced frequencies postflop? Seriously, I can understand why fish are just quitting now. Must be fun to deposit on Pokerstars, sit at a low limit game, and instantly be bumhunted by 5 regulars at the table + 12 more on a waitlist while constantly being isoed, 3-bet, and crushed for around 40bb/100 by regs while also paying 10+bb/100 in rake.
