Possibly a sample size thing. Do you have Hold'em Manager or PokerTracker? If so, what are your stats like?

Please explain why you think poker is a dying industry. Also, you can play for fun/as a hobby rather than just to make money.

If you study the material available here, post hands you are having problems with and generally work at it, you are pretty well guaranteed to be able to beat 2NL.

If your posting on a strategy forum for advice on how to beat games, and your willing to study it, that generally means the person cares for it more then a general hobby.

And if you really have to ask why games are dying / getting tougher, then for as much as you post you must live under a rock.

Okay, probably not a sample size thing. What are your stats?

Also, Insignificant, don't be ****ing stupid. I'm a rec player, but I love studying the game, and I also happen to like winning (most rec players will IMO).

You can post 2NL hands here or Micro Stakes NL or Micro Full Ring depending on whether you play 6max or FR. I would suggest posting the first couple here because people are less likely to say 'Why the hell didn't you 3bet, do you hate money or something?' when you make newbie mistakes.

You should cbet fish when you are likely ahead of their range or you think they will fold. It's quite a topic but a short answer is you mostly c-bet. If the guy is a calling station don't cbet when you completely missed the flop and he is likely to call with anything.

Get a free trial of Holdem Manager or Poker Tracker 4 so you can track your stats and post them, I guarantee this is the quickest way to find the glaring leaks in your game that you probably have.

EDIT

OK you have HEM. Post your stats in this thread if you like.

I didnt ask why games are dying, I asked why YOU think games are dying.

Just had a quick look, between stars and full tilt, 200k players online. Does not seem on its last legs to me.

Ill get back under my rock.

This is 6-max? Can you screen dump your positional stats? So take a screen shot and host it somewhere like Photobucket.

games today might be tougher than 2006, but that doesn't mean suddenly everyone's gonna master the game. its too complex, too many things to learn. fish is not going to spend hours and hours studying everyday, so as long as you do you'll still beat them.

as for the games dying, not sure where you get that from. still over 6k entrants in the wsop main event, still 200k+ players on stars online, still plenty of fish.
