Fortunately, this is something we in the Brew actively track on a monthly basis. Please utilize the following charts (based on monthly data) in determining the site with the appropriate level of softness:
FTP
Hard ------------------*---Soft
Stars
Hard ----------------*-----Soft
As you can clearly see, FTP is currently the softer site as of today, November 21, 2008. This is the continuation of a trend that began as of early June and has steadily gained momentum as we approach the end of the year. The primary driving factor is an increase in the volume of players pursuing Supernova, thus negatively impacting the softness of the 6max cash game landscape due to "nits" grinding hands for VPP value. Also lending weight to the movement are, in no particular order: UIGEA reg announcement fallout, holiday season causing less money to be spent on poker endeavors, the amount of rain in the Amazon basin this month as compared to year-over-year expected amounts, the number of posts Fopah will have in the Brew today, and whether or not Tuna posts hot asians here within the next 3 hours.
