You raise good points. Not too much new material though. We all know it ain't '06. If it was there wouldn't be locked threads in the strat section front page. Live IS so much softer than live. I raised that point in the 2009 in review thread as well as the notion that people who used to profit online (me) are going to make more playing 1-table live games. TP didn't want to believe that. It's true though. It's demoralizing, disheartening, and whatever else but it's true. Sucks a dick.

Curious to see your graph, for a point of reference, slp.

slp=wes obviously no?

Internet message boards are scourge on my life. I really should stop posting.

ya wtf wes lol, is there some weird reason u create 50 accounts. He's probably every1 on here making up a littler virtual world of personalities

I play at lower stakes $0.25/$0.50-$1/$2 NLHE, but lately it is exclusively the $50 buyin games. I think those games are still very beatable (and the $100 buyin game for that matter) but it requires more work away from the table and more pen on paper calculations. Even in the small stakes/micros, which depresses the hell out of me.

I love playing PLO but I suck at it and I end up an emotional wreck, which is fun.

I think the margins are smaller, so the variance is bigger, and the bankroll requirements are larger across the board. The hardest thing for to adjust are my new expectations and the effect of those reduced expectations on my game.


lol, I was just going to make that comment.

ya, ill admit wes or slp or whoever else he is is right about my mindset is what's been costing me $. The days of making $250/hr are over, and though I could still make $50 an hour this whole year pretty easy, it's like I'm somehow not happy if I play for 3 hours and see I'm up $150, I'm spoiled to the point that $50 seems like a loss. Gotta just be happy with that I guess for awhile at least and start winning again.
