Used to play all the time during the boom. Now, I play 1/yr at the Beau Rivage when we go on our group golf trip. Most years, I won enough to pay for the trip, but it's getting harder. I lost a few hundred this year. Was talking to a regular and he said the oil field being bad has made it a lot harder as all the guys who would go for the weekend and stumble out of coast after a few drinks are scarcer. He said when he first started playing, there were 5 sharks and 50 suckers every weekend. Now it's 50 sharks and 5 suckers.
I'm much better at cash games than tournaments. Knowing that I can't rebuy makes me play too tight and I get blinded to death. My best night ever was winning $5000 at the Bellagio in a 2/5 cash game.

I think this is part of the reason I have become bored with the game. I find tighter and tighter tables these days then years ago. More people actually know the game than they used to. Larger pots are harder to come by. Omaha is better and if you can get into a half and half game with a bunch of people who are really there to play omaha then the hold em hands are a lot more fun.
But I play much more black jack now and have such a better time than I do at poker.
ETA: Plus poker players in general are dicks. Smug as shite when it comes to the game. They cannot wait for the dealer or a player to screw up so they can drop some knowledge on the table. Most of the time its inaccurate. And they can't take losing. Beat them on a pot and its eye rolls, and low mumbling shite talking to the player next to them. "He played that?....did you see that? I had bla bla bla..... he fricking played that garbage to a raise.... fricking donkey" No how about you got outplayed/unlucky because the game is not about who gets dealt the best starting hand? Sorry, but you all know the types i'm talking about.
