The play was very different in those days. Some of the players I played with in the early days are now playing at the highest stakes on the site. I even remember when Redmond Lee started playing on the site - he was not very good to be honest (too aggressive), but now he is amongst the best cash players in the country! No-one is happy when Redmond sits down at the table, but back then no-one feared him at all.

When I first started playing on the site I played £10 SnGs and cleaned up. Nowadays, £10 SnGs are chock full of semi-pros and the margins are very thin. I wouldn't play £10 sngs now.

Also, in the early days there was no controlled aggression. Players tended to be either timid or crazy so solid ABC play could beat them. ABC play nowadays would struggle to break even.

I could go on, but the game has evolved so much that it is almost unrecognisable now from what it was.
