Re: Strassa in SI
So, how much longer before this craze crashes and burns? Nice to know Duke university is home to some serious poker players tho. My alma mater made the list too (UW-Madison). If I were back in school now, I'm not sure I would have finished either. I suspect these boards are loaded with college kids.
One thing not discussed in the article is that the job environment is disheartening as well. Which also puts an emphasis on these kids thinking that poker can "pay the bills" while the find a real job.
My opinion is that the popularity of this trend will continue for another 3-7 years and then fizzle. Beyond that horizon, how much poker will there be? Who knows? But the sharks will always know how to hunt fish. There will always be games.
