Yeah I agree, I wasn't doubting OP's claim so much as responding to Rick's suggestion that the poker boom is over. Rick, you play in LA, right?

Yeah, mostly LA with an occasional trip to Las Vegas and Foxwoods when I visit family. My results have been about the same over the last few years but that's in large part because I've learned a lot thanks to the good material now available from the smarter writers like Matt, Sunny and Ed. Most people whose opinion I trust also find the games harder lately.

My guess is that the boom will sustain best in tourist areas, and particularly where poker is one game on a full casino menu. A key driver of traffic in the AC rooms is people who aren't there specifically to play poker, and those people will always be around. By contrast, you really only show up at a California cardroom because you want to play poker.

Good point(s).
