All in the subject. With the poker explosion we have obviously seen a huge influx of "bad" players. On the other hand we have also seen a huge amount of literature and learning resources come available for everyone.

How long before the only player left are the good players?

there will always be a good game, and for the most part all games 30/60 and lower will be beatable.

Why do I see all these doom scenarios posts all over the forums for the last couple of months? Are people just exaggerating? Will it indeed dry up? Or is this talk that is already going on for years maybe?

I bet they said this when Super System came out decades ago.

Doubtful since S/S wasn't that hugely popular when it came out.

And Mason will remind you that Hold Em Poker came out first.

Keep in mind I'm not saying that I've noticed a huge difference, nor am I expecting one. I just want the opinions of people who have been playing for several years.

How many players do you really think read poker books? How many of those read them carefully enough to understand them?

Most people play poker for fun, rather than to make consistent money. They hope to get lucky and win a bit. Same reason they play blackjack, roulette, or any other game. The way hold em is structured, they'll always win often enough to feel rewarded, and continue playing. Just like blackjack, roulette and any other game. Poker has been around for longer than any of us have been alive, and will be around long past we're dead. So will the fish. Hallelujah.

Save yourself the trouble and quit poker now.

All that reply tells me is to skip over your posts in the future.

I think that's an excellent point.

You are now ignoring this user. You will no longer see the body of any of their posts.

Poker is still growing imo. There's another couple of years of growth left in the countries where it's still played, certainly in europe/australia and similar countries.

But, just think where we'l be when it really takes off in the mid/far east... plenty of room for future fish to swim over and fill the pools.

I totally agree. Arabic players will truly be a godsend. Enshs'Allah... If god wills it. The way they live their life. Hand selection would be non-existant. Loving the thought.
