I think right now you do not have to be a highly skilled player to make money. I doesn't hurt you to be able to make some good reads and to have a sense of table textures, and pot-odds... but all those attributes are not needed to be a winner. In fact, some players might even make a larger profit at a table where people have some sense of what is going on because that will fit their game better. Right now, because many of the fish out there are soo bad, and there are so many the low limit game is highly specialized to factor that in. When the game changes, the level of play increases then so will the strategies a successful player needs to employ. From the set of winning players, if and when all the fish are removed we will find those players who make the appropriate adjustment making money and some formerly winning players losing... If all the weak little fish get eaten by the middle and large sized fish, then the large fish will start eating the middle sized fish!!! We just better hope we become large fish before that happens or that the pond always has little fish in it.
