Default Re: Thinking of turning pro

obviously we don't know what will happen in the next 2 years or 5 years or whatever.

pre-Moneymaker the idea the partypoker and pokerstars would each have 50k-80k players on any given night was insane.

we don't know if congress will actually pass some form of senator kyl's bill to make it more difficult (and give it significantly more bad publicity) in the U.S.

multi-tabling bots that can beat the system are still a concern too.

But with the growing acceptance as well as the public offering of party on the london exchange i think things are looking good.


however...the concerns of all my favorite fish busting out and all the players being good does NOT concern me.
first, i think i'm a better player than your average weak-tight multi-tabler. If I'm not already I believe in my abilities to study and get better than whatever the standard is. It's NOT going to be a whole string of Howard Lederer's on every table.

Also - there are a WHOLE bunch of gamblers playing -EV games like BJ and roulette and slots, etc who haven't seemed to have run out of money yet.
They keep building more and more casinos all the time for people who keep wanting to lose on these games.
