When people talk about how hard the games have gotten lately, and how there are "regulars" at $25 NL capable of playing back at them, and when shabi says "This isn't 2005" when talking about $100 NL, and how ABC poker isn't enough any more, etc, etc, etc..... It's crap like this (below) that makes me think everyone is crazy.
I see this shit (and dare I say worse) all the time. And this is at a $200 HU SNG - not exactly penny stakes. I mean, what in the hell is this?
Granted, there are lots of good players out there, but I see so many horrible ones that I honestly believe good (not necessarily great) players should still be able to make decent money playing online without too much trouble. Hell, I think an *average* player could make money if he's smart with game selection.
Full Tilt Tournament game, buy-in $200 + 10 Heads Up Sit & Go (46315159), $10/$20 No Limit, 2 players
