Message: [QUOTE="MattRyder, post: 3106851, member: 189375"] Why do you think the field is improving at lightening speed? The games I've been playing sure don't support that conclusion. Most lower stakes players are pretty typical, and mostly pretty bad. ABC poker rules still apply post-flop, but not pre-flop. I've given up playing tournaments tight - can't win at the lower stakes doing that since there are just way too many loose players. They're not getting better. But when you have 3 or 4 players in every hand, the best starting hand is not likely to be the winning hand. 90% of the hands that I lose are pure (bad) luck. When the money goes in the middle I usually have the best hand (often 70% to 90% favorite) and then the one card that the other guy was hoping for makes an appearance. [/QUOTE]
