For me it looks that FL is the most dificult game to beat, as I see so many players having hard time while playing it. And also when I switched from micro stakes FL to micro NL, I am winning lot easier 
Edit: or maybe I know to few FL players
Yeah, it's not looking great for pokerstrategy english FL players, I mean amira + opal were 2 of the "heavyweights" (lol, by heavyweight I mean the higher end of low stakes!) I guess you could say, but we've still got strat9s and myself* as well as plenty of up and comers like BDL/Waiboy etc.
It surely is a tough road for most with a lot of brick walls to scale but it's by no means impossible. It'll be interesting to see if anyone else follows suit.
*Note I'm leaving out the players who have escaped the rake trap.

Hello Amirapuato,
i always liked to play with you at the tables. I think we - virtually - know each other. You were one of the few guys, i always knew, my laydown was good.
Ok, the last hands we played HU on the tables i won ~90% of them. I really thought: 'If i would be him, i would go on tilt'. But i must admit i was lucky.
But what i really want to tell you: you're not the only FL-Player which thinks about switching the game. My graph on ipoker is not so scary as yours, but during the last weeks/few month it went also not very good for me.
But i must also say, that a play very few hands a month. So it's a big variance faktor in it.
I read the Hwang and attended some PLO & NL-Coachings. I am not sure at the moment which game i will study as well, but i really will learn another game beside FL.
I definitifely won't stop playing FL totally, but i think, for everybody comes the time, to look a little bit around, what's going elsewere.
Btw. with reading the PLO book, i feel like i also improved my FL game 
Good look at the table,
whichever game you'll play

Ahh... now you're making excuses..
04/12/09 - UPDATE
November @ Titan:
22.6k hands 1/2 SH @ -1.9 BB/100 (WTS=34, W$SD=59)
17.3k hands 0.5/1 SH @ -1.4 BB/100 (WTS=34, W$SD=60)
November @ Party (Gladiator Promo + Bonuses + Points > 80% RB):
21.5k hands 0.5/1 SH @ -2.2 BB/100 (WTS=32, W$SD=59)
So... yes, I suck badly at FL, but RB kept me alive. 
NL10 (first 900 hands) and NL25 @ FT this month:
Goals:
Play NL25 and win 40 stacks before moving up (34 to go !!).
Not more than 8 tables (easy, thank you FT restrictions).
Play for fun, not for bonus.
Learn, learn, learn...

Took a 2 weeks break from poker (GF hospitalized on Dec 31st), but now I'm back with plenty of time for grinding...
NL25 @ FT - December (8-tabling)
NL25 @ Stars - This month (16-tabling... I just can't avoid it )

My stats are something around 15/11/3.5, WTS 20, W$SD 47... so definitely there is room for improving... 
Won @ NL25 = 25 stacks
Goal @ NL25 = 40 stacks

Nice one! 
I just registered for tomorrows tourney and see that Boku87 has added himself to the fishpool... (almost 1k entries already so these tourneys are gonna be a little tougher than the ~400 entries they had for the last WBCOOP).
It'd be pretty cool to ship one of those SCOOP entries.

Seriously... WTF?
BB is the standard nitty TAG (13/8/3.2, AF 1.6 after 850 hands), why the f would he call J7o? Missclick?
Maybe missplayed, but he could also have TT+ and the freaking 7 isn't in his normal CC range. I was more afraid of 99 and AA, but NH.
Won @ NL25 = 10 stacks
Goal @ NL25 = 40 stacks
