Adaptation

The games are getting tougher to beat.

Winning players constantly get stronger, refining their skills and playing in the most profitable games they can find. Losing players stagnate and fail to progress.

Poker is a dynamic game with ever-changing trends, new theories and neverending lessons to learn. If you don't practice, study and evolve with the game, you'll fall behind.

That's just the way it is. Either whine nostalgic about the juicy old days, or work to survive and thrive.

As always, you make some excellent points. I agree with almost everything you said, including the need to adapt. The one thing I mildly disagree with is how best to adapt. I've posted a lengthy explanation on my blog.

Right on....now I don't feel silly spending hours a week studying my play and my opponents play just to keep beating 1/2
