Since Jan of 2009 I have basically been running behind horrible. The increase rake in the live games Im playing in obviously doesn't help matters either, nor does the fact that a lot of the fish have dried up (or improved) and due to a bad economy not as many recreation gamblers are regularly playing. I did have a winning 2009 but it was my worst year since I started keeping records in 2005. 2008 was the first full year I played exclusively, and I can surely say that if my 2008 was like 2009 I'd be working again (fortunately it was my best year ever). I did start the first 2.5 months of 2010 on a 20k heater (and by heater I mean my KK was holding up vs AQ all in pre and similiar) but have had a pretty brutal last 4 weeks which snatched away half of that.
While all that was happening my boy Taha managed to cash for 19k in the $5k NAPT Mohegan ME last week, 16k in the $560 Borgata Spring Open Deep Stack earlier this week ,and just today finished 4th in the $7500 Borgata East Coast Championship for 44k. How's that run for a week and a half...
On a side note the forum has been pretty dead lately...I think the central core of us should really focus in putting in some discussion on Situations and Hands played. I know that years ago this place helped my game tremendously just going over hands with everyone -- we have the skill set to step our game up so let's do the damn thing
