Before taking a hiatus about a year ago I was playing mostly NL 6max and HU, 200NL-600NL, typically. Dabbled in PLO too but sample size wasn't big enough to draw any conclusions. I was profitable in 6max and HU. Better bb/100 in HU, but volume was a serious problem. I played at Ignition. I will probably start up with them again. I hate their HU format now, though.

I was also profitable in MTTs, though it's been quite a while since I played those regularly. Been focusing on cash mostly.

I wanted to no if the landscape of poker has changed much online in the past year. What games are most exploitable? Maybe better worded, what games are most "pros" playing today?

Poker was indeed much tougher 1 year ago than it was 10 years ago, but there were still always fish at the table on a nightly basis. And I imagine there always will be. There are just way more solid players going after the fish. That was my observation. Overall profitability took a hit because of the numerous solid players, yet there were enough fish to keep grinders in the black (albeit not nearly as profitable as back in the day).

Games are probably exactly like you left them. Mostly BQ gets this same question...except the time frame is much longer than a year. Your question is...unusual.

Seriously, ask in the individual forums where your games are discussed. You are not a beginner. The answers you get here are likely to be related to the micro games and as such, not of any value to you.

Warning: Do you believe that a 'pro' that posts on 2+2 would be willing to give up his honey-hole? If a pro has found a particularly easy game to beat my assumption would be he would keep the secret to himself as long as possible.

True. I debated where to post this. Was going to put it in the NL forum but since I'm asking about the game general and all it's varients (plo, mtts, etc), BQ kind of won by default.
