Message: [QUOTE="NCDaddy, post: 5127025, member: 114217"] The game itself hasn't changed. What has changed are the players and how it's played. There is sooooo much more of a knowledge base now and soooo many more ways of gaining experience both online and live. Over the 20 or so years I have been playing, I have noticed a shift to math based play rather than "play the opponent" based play. Good players, imo, obviously embrace both approaches. But, before online poker the math skills of "most" players were virtually nil and they played more by feel and the opponent. Now I see people making decisions strictly on math based propositions regardless of opponents. I think the online game has changed since the Moneymaker days.....with all the online tools available, it's much harder than it used to be. [/QUOTE]
