Is Online Poker Getting Tougher?
Posted by: Randy Williams - Sun, 2015-06-28 11:41
Ben Tollerene certainly seems to think so and there is definitely quite a bit of logic in it: after all, those who have been playing for years have naturally been getting better, newbies have a lot more useful information to educate themselves even before hitting the real money tables and several sites have adopted measures to protect their "fish", after all, that's where all the fresh deposits come from. To hear Tollerene admit that online games have indeed gotten tougher is quite something though. One of the best (if not THE best) online poker player in the world, Tollerene has been at the cutting edge of the
high-stakes online poker action for years. He has recently opted out of having his earnings tracked, so currently not much is known about how he's doing, but with him, it's always safe to assume that he's doing well indeed.

The
2015 WSOP has drawn Tollerene away from the online tables for the time being and he has been spotted playing in various events, more recently in the $10k PLO Championship event, in which he actually made the money, taking down $19k for his efforts. That's where interviewers caught up with him and picked his mind on a number of different issues, among which the direction in which online poker has been headed difficulty-wise for a while now. Besides that, Tollerene confirmed another trend that has been more and more obvious lately: the high stakes cash-games have been moving from Full Tilt Poker to PokerStars. He said the games at Full Tilt always had Hansen and Blom as their catalysts, and since none of the two pros played there anymore, they simply died.
