I don't think this level of poker will slowdown that much. It's too cheap for the reckless gambler or rookie player. Every year there is a new crop of 21 year olds.

I hope you're right but good times don't last forever.

I grew up in a different world (graduated from college during the Carter years). It wasn't quite the depression but we had high unemployment, high-interest rates, and high inflation. It was rare to find college kids with decent cars, nice clothes and so on and I'm actually stunned by what young people have to spend today.

Trust me I bet the horses for years and the same losing players show up for years and take their beatings every week.....

Seems to be a bad example. Horse racings popularity has declined - the industries biggest problem is the lack of new players.
