Pretty sure he hit his limit, that's why he was researching ways to overcome the limit (hougyouku)
Yamamoto's limit was just higher with his Bankai so he couldn't beat him fairly, hence all the trickery and Wonderweiss
The trickery with his BS overpowered ability didn't even work. Wonderweiss was the only reason he won that exchange.
That's probably what annoyed me most about Yamamoto's death. Previous arc he was so powerful he basically had to defeat himself for the bad guy to succeed because he was simply outclassing everyone. Even while bare handed.
Then suddenly, OHKOed by someone he beat ages ago who just slept and got super powerful!
