Most years at the WSOP everyone but one person walks home unhappy.  This year it was 9 people.  Unfortunately one of those 9 is not Dean Hamrick.  All of you will see how well Dean played and how unlucky he ultimately got. 

For myself I left the WSOP feeling like I did the best I possibly could.  I might have missed some spots but that is neither here nor there at this point.  Almost from the minute I was knocked out I started packing and I was energized in a big way.  I got a little sidetracked on a few things but mostly my sleep has been out of whack.  Well that is coming together as well.

So right now I am about as motivated as I have been in a long time.  I am about a week away from my public Beta (this will change poker completely) for my new software and I am introducing new blogs so customers can better communicate with me.  Here is an example of the blog for RakeRecovery.

Most importantly when you finally wake up and realize that at least for this year your dream is dead.  It is actually refreshing and liberating.

P.S.  My year starts and ends at the WSOP.  Sort of a Beanie New Year.
