Hey guys. I haven't played cash games at pokerstars for about 2-3 years. I have decided to stop my cash games journey at NL10 when I have suffered a lot of bad beats in a row. So I came back to Pokerstars, to grab my old hobby. But I have realised that poker has changed. Where are all those fishes who goes all in preflop with TT+ or ATo+? I usually get at least 5-6 AAs or KKs every evening and nobody goes all in preflop against me with stupid hand. I am playing NL2 6-max right now. Also, does anybody know which poker site has the bigest precentage of fishes in NL2-NL10? Share your thoughts about nowadays fishes.

Hey GooFy741,
Welcome to the forums 
Haha, the game has evolved and the fish are better educated but those guys are still around. It might be wise to check out our latest version of No-Limit Beginner's Course with confidant91 [2017 edition] to find out some of the adjustments you may need to make.
Where are you from? In fact, why don't you get yourself added to our Member map. You never know, the nearest PokerStrategist may live right next door. 
888 has the biggest fish pool imo.
Have fun 
Laz

It's flat out just not the way you remember it. Poker has evolved tremendously in the last few years. You're either with it, or you're a pure donator at any stake, including 2NL on many sites.
As Lazza said: The whales are still out there and you have a LOT of different sites to choose from other than just PokerStars now. There are fish everywhere. You're just going to find that peak times on many sites may be filled with nothing but reg v reg warfare.
There's a ton to study and you need to work with equity calculators, compare ranges, study heavily, see how different ranges hit different flops, etc. Further, because the margins are so much smaller, semi-bluffing and bluff catching have become really heavy parts of the game. Cbetting is totally different. Nobody cbets 80%+ anymore unless the site/stake is super soft. It's all about balancing your frequencies in all parts of your game and making sure you adjust when villain adjusts. It's extremely fun, if you really enjoy poker, but it definitely is going to require a ton of hard work, effort, and failure to learn the game basically from the ground up. Especially the cash game. It's extremely fast and aggressive today.
