Those days are over. I am just sad I was not playing 5 years ago. At least I got in at the start of the craze.

But look at it this way. Since Holdem is getting HUGE there will always be fresh meat on the table. And with us dedicated players devoting time and effort to always improving eventually we will be superstars compared to the average Joe Schmoe that read a book or two.

Also I want LIVE poker to become more and more popular. I am moving to North Carolina where people are playing poker like mad. But laws prevent real games. Well Harrah's is putting a bid to have real tables and someone is sueing the state for the right to open poker halls. Games of chance are not allowed and they are arguing its a game of skill.

I hope it passes. Live players are much softer and much easier to read than online. Its almost like I have X-ray vision playing live.

Oh boy, oh boy.

I still pull the brain fart every once in a while thought.
