what Ive been up to since black friday

black friday was a real shock for everyone in the poker community - at first I was more shocked then anything and it really took a couple days before I started my normal weekly grind to realize it was over. Since then I've been playing live 5/10 NL for a living. Its been a struggle thus far, but I've gotten alot better over the past 2 months learning to play 200 bb deep. While financially I haven't done as well as I wanted, I've enjoyed the change of scenery - I played online for about 6 years for a living, and as you might guess, it can get very boring and monotonous. This is especially the case with 2011, as I've been running real bad. The 5/10 live grind is nice to do something different and test my skills out in a new ballgame that isn't just 30 bb stacks and very little postflop play. I've also come to appreciate money alot more and the fact that no road is going to be an easy one to travel, and overcoming the bumps along the way will make you a better person and capable of handling much more. I will continue the 5/10 grind but do hope online comes back soon.
