It'll happen when the buy-in is raised to keep out the riff-raff.

No it won't. Say there is a $25,000 buy-in. Poker Satellite X will have 1,000 people online for $25 a head. Online poker is here and these tourneys will ALWAYS be filled with online qualifier players. And that's GREAT for the pro, because it adds a lot of value to the prize pool, plus, I have to tell you, while I'd relish the opportunity to be at a table with the likes of Phil I., Howard L., Paul P., Daniel N., Doyle B., etc etc etc -- I'd like my chances of advancing a whole lot better if it was against PokerBabe38 and HESTud69696969.
