Default Re: Is There Any Hope For REAL Poker (i.e. Hold Em Is Killing Us)

IMO bridge is a much more interesting game than poker.

But who cares what I think? Or what you think? As long as our primary card-playing objective is winning money, the fish will decide what game we are going to play.

Read the literature. Poker games where the good players have too large an advantage eventually die. Your desire for a much larger advantage is equivalent to wishing for the fish to almost never win.

People won't keep coming back to a game where they always lose. You can sheer a sheep over-and-over, but you can only butcher it once.

PS: Enjoy NL ring hold'em while it lasts. The good players probably have too big an edge for it to remain popular in the long run.
