Favorite Moment of the Olympics

I am going to apologize in advance for some non-poker commentary; nothing drives me crazier than to visit "DegeneratePokerRiverStories.com" to find cat videos and meatloaf recipes. You knuckleheads start a poker blog but can't wait to enrich our day with what the bank teller said to you this morning? What gives?

Anyway, here's my version of the same. I'm going attempt a connection by playing the "competition" card because I'd like to talk about my favorite moment of the Winter Olympics so far.

2009 Recap

2009 was a very humbling year. I've spent New Year's day trying to get my arms around what happened. At the beginning of the year, I was coming off my best year (2008), best quarter (QIV08), and second best month (Dec, 2008) of all time. I was feeling super-human and the whole "why am I going to work everyday" thing kept creeping into my brain. I would never quit my job to play poker but it's hard not to daydream about it when you're running good.

So I took a ridiculous amount of money to Biloxi in January and lost all of it. Welcome to 2009. I was playing in stakes I had never played before and thought it through ahead of time as a calculated risk. I was taking a shot and I had given myself permission to do, but in the process chalked up my worst month ever. To be honest, I shrugged it off. Then I repeated the "worst month ever" feat in my local $2-5 PLO game, which included 7 consecutive losing sessions of a week's salary or more. So now I'm in deep for the year.
