you say game are easier the ever but i disagree, when i first started playing there were no regs at lower stakes so it was free money, the higher stakes will be softer (when they get going) as there are less winning regs.
sometimes there will be you, biood, angribob etc playing the $1.5 and £3.50 stakes. harder for the lower stakes grinders to move up when our roi goes from 10% to about 3% becasue games are harder. not that i really care because the nature of the game nobody has that much of an edge, and volume is the only real way to win.
i mean how much are you making from rakeback? it it even worth playing $100+ stakes at the risk of a downswing?
There is not even 5 other good regs that play these anymore.
I have always played 3.50s as did Biood who does not even play hypers anymore. I play 1.50s now as well because I play 16-20 tables because the games are soft enough that I no longer worry about my table count.
Downswings are a part of poker. If you can't afford to deal with a downswing at a certain stake you should not be playing it in the first place.
I also play mtts, 18 mans and cap games and don't really worry about rakeback all that much although I will likely get more vpps this year than I ever have.
