A big reason for the first no is the second no.

What if the new inexperienced players multi-table as well?

then they will die off just that must faster.

It makes me wonder if it is truly in the best interest of the poker rooms to allow multitabling.

That's a good point. On this question I am symmetrically conflicted. I can see rational for "Yes" and "No". I don't know what to think.

That's how feel about it. On the one hand 4 tabling allows for more tables, regular or pro players who generate more rake and keep the games going. All very good reasons to keep the stats quo.

However if it results in basically busting the new or casual player at pace which they can't be replaced then the result is a bunch of regulars feeding off each other and quickly drying up.

I'm not sure a if any solution would be, or if there really is a problem.

The difference between this fad and others is this one is addictive. Which is good for its long term prospects. LV boomed and has kept growing without any signs of slowing down, the same goes pretty much any type of gambling and for alcohol, ciggarettes and drugs for that matter.

I'm hoping that someday this forum will remain free of a post like this 5 times a week.

I don't think gambling will slow down, but people will eventually work out that holdem is basically boring and someone will release a more entertaining form of gambling, at least online.

Live poker will probably always be popular as it has social implications too.
