Yeah. Definitely some fishy plays in my limited experience there, but a lot of solid players as well. Goes back to the conversation we had where you mentioned hating shortstacks. IMO typically in a 5-10NL game the guys who buy-in for a short stack are often playing above their heads and making mistakes. The guys who buy-in for max (or exploit the reload bug and buy-in for more than max) are often solid players.Yup, I haven't figured out what the deal is honestly. I was crushing in the first two weeks (as many here witnessed). Thousands in winnings. In the past week or so, I've taken a crushing. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, so it's probably just running cold, but I've taken some ferocious beats. There are still plenty of bad players at the higher stakes tables, but as Cav says there are definitely a few wolves feasting. Mostly I've found they are just rock players. They play standard, safe, by the book, and crush on big hands.
Anyway, again, I don't think anything is "rigged" or otherwise; I still think there are some very soft players, but there are definitely a handful of really good players. Beware.
I don't think there is anything fishy going on. 6Max tables can just be extremely volatile. At those limits playing in a game like that I think you would need a bankroll close to 50k to handle the variance.
I just had the same happen to me yesterday, flopped boat taken down by flopped quads. Unreal...
