Ok what the hell...

I've just got up to 1k bankroll, so I'm moving up to 50nl, so I changed my table filters to look at 50nl, and every table I go on is just nitty rock mofos... There just aren't nearly as many fish as there are at 25nl... Well, there doesn't seem to be any :\

Well I mean maybe 1 fish on a table or two here or there, obviously I don't have stats on anyone at this level, just been judging by a couple of rounds of blinds, but at 25nl there were loads of tables popping up with 2+ fish...

I've become quite content with finding these tables and playing supertight. But everyone seems to be playing the same game at 50nl. Any suggestions?

p.s. by fish I mean total loose maniac idiots who don't know what they're doing, I like to play tables with at least 30% players per flop and decent pot size... Is this just unreasonable of me or something? I can't understand the drastic change from 25nl to 50nl... :s

No money in poker. Everyone solid.

Seriously, though, 50nl is full of horrible regfishes. You need to learn how to exploit them in order to move up.

I've even had a look at 6-max and there aren't really any LAGfish there either, everyone's a 3-bet whore, can't seem to steal the blinds or anythin'... God this is annoying, there just doesn't seem to be the same amount of free money as there was at 25NL and under...

Does 6-max become more profitable at 50NL+ since the full ring games are so nitty? Ain't really very experienced at 6-max but learning how to beat it would be good for my game I guess...

Is it just me or does online poker seem to be getting more and more solid?

I blame sites like this that improve everyone's game! :p lol, just messin...

The number of loose maniac fish is bound to decrease as you move up.

People still play bad at every level, there is just less super easy money, the type you're talking about. Like Belgo says, there should still be plenty of Reg-fish about, players that have smaller but still exploitable weaknesses. Figure out how to exploit them. You need to learn how to beat semi-poor players to move up, and how to hold your own against the good regs.
