We all know that fish come and go.

Where have the fish flowed to in 2009?

[Zenjo]

Isn't it a bit early to tell?

[Piscivorous]

Depends on limit/buy-in, of course. However, adding the players from AP to UB has made that a virtual fishtank. Also, I am getting hammered at PDC Poker [Carbon Poker network] and Cake by people who can't fold bottom pair or a gutshot, so I know where I find the fish. I think a truer indication will be in Mid-January to February when everyone is back to work. Too hard to tell, like Zenjo points out, because the recreational players are schooling big time right now.

For sure. It took me a grand total of 2 attempts to win one, and I never win anything.

An amusing example below of the transparent calling station cyclops. His VP$ was 82% PFR 0%. Funnily enough his ROI is -66%.

Coming back to the game after a couple years off (went and got me a college degree), I'm wondering how beatable the low limit ring games are, particularly at pokerstars, where I still have some funds kicking around.

I've heard, since the law decided to make playing from the us difficult, that low limit 10-player ring games are tough to beat with the rake. I'm wondering if that still holds or if soft games can be found. I'm working my way up from .10/.20 (which still looks very soft) and am hoping, variance willing, to work my way up to $1/2 and beyond fairly quickly when I infuse my bankroll with my recent fantasy football winnings.

I found a better one. Play the $3 90 man KOs at Full Tilt.
They make the $4 180 players look good.

Does any of you still play at Carbon? Does it still have any new offers?
