Default Re: What happens when the poker craze ends?

[ QUOTE ]
This has been a question that has been on my mind forever it seems. I play a rather unusual game for cash, PLO8, but I play at very low stakes .50/1 and 1/2 Pot Limit, I have been wondering how long will the games be good? I mean its a weird game that doesnt even get spread in casinos, why would it be good for very long? The only positive is that I play really low stakes, and I could see someone messing around with 100 or 200 at my game for fun, but I cant imagine the higher tables are any good because they are probably full of rocks, but I dont know.

I wonder wtf am I doing playing this weird game? I should be learning holdem and PLO some games that actually have a future, but I really enjoy this game and I do ok in it, but I am almost certain the games are going to stink as soon as the poker bubble burst because its a rather unusual game, this had been on my mind, just cant seem to stop thinking about, I wonder do you guys ever think what will happen when the poker bubble bursts? I enjoy poker perhaps a little to much, while PLO8 is my number one game, I play a ton of PLO and Holdem sit and gos, I also enjoy stud and play it a few times a week on party, ill play anything on party, if they offer a game ive sat down at one point in it, probably .50/1, LOL. The problem is I play poker from the money I make from PLO8. Anyway you guys ever think about the what ifs? Like what will happen when poker aint in like it is now?

Omaha and it's various forms have been "the game of
the future" for at least twenty years now. Hmmmm.

It comes and goes, like backgammon and some other games.

Meantime, think of the casinos. What will happen to
them when the fad dies, and everyone realizes that
you can't beat the house edge at their games? Hmmm.
