This will raise some eyebrows and hopefully develop into a good discussion.
I do not think $25 NL full ring on Party should be camped any more.
Alright, I'm sure that your first thoughts will be 'yeah right he's just saying that because he got some bad beats today'. You're wrong. I've been profiting all week at $25 NL but it is very much the pinnacle of tightness, the amount of money you can expect to make per hour is far lower than a respectable amount that a poker player of my ability should be making. Simply put, it is simply too tight to get paid off well now!
After pumping my PokerTracker database full of observed hands this month 24 hours a day, I have over 100k of observed hands histories and the average player VP$IP is 19%. 19% should be my VP$IP, not everyone else's!
I can remember that when I played the game back in March 2005 I had an average player VP$IP of something around 30%, that's how much it has changed.
Although I am not arguing that this game isn't +EV anymore, it definitely is. The simple fact is that I don't think it is worth playing anymore, there is more money to be made elsewhere (ESPECIALLY since I have adequate skills in MTTs, SnGs and LHE ring).
Anywho I have writer's block on this issue, maybe I can put some words to.. um.. pixel later.
Comments appreciated as always.
