Have the cash games got harder???

Since the kings of cash promo started in October I have struggled badly on the cash tables (20nl)

I know I have had some bad luck but I just can't get a winning day.

I have been on sky for 3 years now and have always turned a proffit, but over the last 5 weeks it's been awful.

Has anyone else found it harder than normal????

    I defo noticed it at the start of october! Lots of solid regs, even at 20nl, who were going for the Kings of Cash promo. There weren't many/any 'easy' tables about.

    I was glad when the promotion ended, a lot more recreational players on the tables now :)

    100% agree with this unfortunately. 

    Haven't played cash this month, I'm giving DYMs a spin... but like you I have consistently made profits for years and suddenly can't have a winning session let alone a winning week!

    Personally i wasnt going for the kings of cash promo so eneded up playing less tables than usual last month as had to use more table selection to manage to turn a profit

    I had 9 months away from cash, from around November last year until a couple of months ago when I started playing again.

    Obv have to factor in the improvements I've made as a player (not many) but the games last month were just as soft if not softer than last year imo.

    There are 3 or 4 very good players at the lower middle stakes tho. There didn't used to be. But overall they're just as soft, there's still plentyoffish.com.

    Getting coolered all the time doesn;t help.

    I'm sick of cash but like some craaack addict I carry on.

    Must be a glutton for punishment.

    Think they,ve got gradually harder over the last 2 or 3 years tbh

    I think 1 factor is when ppl turn 18 and come ontop the site as a newbie they,ve already learnt the game through home games and all the training sites out there and TV

    table select better m8 and also I dont think the games have got harder I think 10/20nl are full of nits a lot more than they ever used to be but just adjust your game to these players when you have them at tables.

    but yeah you might just be having a bad run it will turn buddy gl.

    Ok maybe what I meant was harder to get paid.

    Tried table selecting but it's hard most of the time as it seems to be the same guys, maybe a new format is the way forward.....................

    maybe a change would be good for you what do you think you would enjoy and make money on dyms/mtts/hu stts?

    also im not saying defo go for new format because played with you a few times your a good solid player in the cash games I honestly think you may be running bad atm but whatever you choose to do gl m8.
