This is not a strat question more a general question

Ok so here's my life-time graph as you can see I'm mainly a micro stakes player. What I'm concerened about is the downturn since Black Friday.

I'm still playing the sme games at the same stakes, I'm not aware of making any changes to my game style, is it just a coincedence or has anyone else seen a change in their results since the American guys left?

Just variance like at your 3,000 game stage. How do you make it in £'s?

There has definitely been in my opinion a downturn in quality of play since Black Friday. For me, this has resulted in much swingier swings. People are getting it in so loose and with my laggy style, this doesn't really help. It could just be down to variance, but if you're talking MTT's, it's hard to wade through a big field when people stack off so light because eventually they will hit and your stack is crippled. Recently I've found I'm getting pretty far in games then losing in the last 3 or 4 tables or just busting early.

SNG tables are totally different now on FTP... as in ridiculous bad players. A few of my friends have been on the shyt side of variance as a result. (yah but it should be good with a larger percentage of shyt players... blah blah blah.. yah yah.. but it's actually suckin' huge).
I'm playing mostly cash tables instead & finding them super fishy & liking it. Have been staying away from SNG entirely.

I've seen a similar downturn at around the same time but to be honest I'm putting mine down to simply variance and running bad (losing a lot of 70/30's etc).
Unlike Orifice I've not noticed that the standard of play is any better or worse since BF.

What levels is that at PO? I'm playing $2 and $5 - volume not great I admit so maybe my sample size isn't as large as many.

I wouldnt be too worried. Might be some small change that you need to make.
Even if you cant exploit the Europeans the same way as Americans, good play always pay off in the end.

FWIW I haven't noticed much difference in the $6 / $11 turbos in terms of player skill.

And I thought it was just me.
After reading a few threads on here, Im seeing that Black Friday is having a bigger effect than expected, (downswings/varience) but, im sure it will all settle down and the swings wont be as bad.

Also, I have found myself wondering through the lobby's a bit more trying different formats again, rather than just playing Ring Game all the time. It seems to be working for me, ATM but, I still cant keep away from the cashies.
