Obviously, everyone's mileage will vary, but based on what I've seen when playing Poker since the 15th ...
- the cpu folks fold early and often for several hands
- if nobody ever gets up from the table, they eventually quit folding (probably just bad luck on my part, but they sure seemed to be getting lots of 2-pair/3 of a kind hands).
- if you still stick it out, and nobody gets up from the table, it appeared to start playing out like it had in the past, and I was getting some bigger winnings.
The key for me was that I usually played with only 1 other "real" person, at the most, and neither one of us got up from the table for a long time. If they did change it, perhaps they are just discouraging the 'hit & run' poker player
