Played BJ out of school for ten years and switched to limit holdem for seven years. 10 years ago I saw what was once 4 large bets an hour turn to less than a large bet an hour and tried to assimilate to the real world with a real job. Gave up the real world to play NL on line about a year ago and have witnessed the variance increase. Maybe if I had experienced the poker boom my view would not be pessimistic but there are a lot of players out ther that understand holdem and play fairly well. This is a tough gig.
