Default Re: How are you going to deal with tougher games in the future?

The poker boom is slowing, the number of new players and gambling types is now dwarfed by the number of players who are trying to play well.

Where is your proof of this? This reads as something you've pulled out of thin air. If it's only an opinion you should state it as such. You've stated this as a fact that I don't think you can back up.

I've wondered about the "poker boom" myself and from experience I made a few conjectures. When casino poker first came to my locality the games were terrific. Lots and lots of easy money. After about a year and a half the games weren't quite as easy but they never really got that hard to beat. However, I will say there was a noticable difference after a year and a half if memory serves. At the time the city where I live had between 400,000 and 500,000 people. This was about 10 years ago. Now if we look at how things are today with poker more widely available to so many all over the world via the internet I have a hard time believing that poker is going to die out anytime soon and we'll be lacking for good games. I think this "poker boom" lasts a lot longer than a lot of people think it will. I mean no offense when I say that I've read comments similar to yours on these forums but I have a hard time seeing where the "poker boom" dying soon argument has any validity. I think these comments are not only way, way too pessimistic but have virtually no chance of being true FWIW.
