For some reason I always get the feeling that the people here at Leggo are all good people. Yes, every single on of you :P And even though that probably isn't true, it's still nice to feel this way about the community and be a part of it. My sincere very best wishes to all of you.

I thought this was a good time to write a short recap of 2009. One of the reasons I started keeping a blog was so that I could read back on my life/progress, and I must say, things have changed greatly since the beginning of the year. My mental attitude towards the game, my game itself, and most importantly, my character. I hope it's for the best, and I'm confident it is.

Reading back on my blog I realized that most of the highlights of 2009 are already in there. I also realized that the greatest gift of poker is not what most outsiders (and insiders) think it is. It's not the money. It's not a certain mental attitude. It's not freedom. The greatest gifts of poker are the friends you meet during your poker career, and will keep long after. It sounds cheesy as cheese, but I've traveled a lot this year, and always when people ask they get jealous because of the places you've been. But it's not the places you've been that make those experiences memorable and as fun as they are, it is the fact that you're there with your friends and just literally having the time of your life. Some people I've met because of poker, have become one of my closest friends (you know who you are ) and for that I will always be grateful.

Pokerwise 2009 has been solid, I didn't follow any classes in November and December, and managed to hit Supernova and a very nice 'end of the year grind'. It's great for my confidence as these were the first 2 months I actually put quite some volume in, and it made for a very sexy graph imo:



Also, as a Christmas thingy I decided to do a small draw and put 2 players into the Sunday Million. The winnings would be split 50/50. One of them was a 2NL player. The other one was a 50NL player. He was Robvleugel. Robvleugel became 7th. An amazing achievement by him and I hope I can make the final table of the SM one day too.

Oh and Robin_Ripper lost the CCR 2 days ago. With that I'm gonna end this blogpost.

Have a great 2010 all,


Denny
