Poker fad already fading?

I for one stopped watching wsop and wpt, because I'm playing poker instead. I think this is a market where they took a big hit. watching poker was fun when I didn't play it. Now I'd rather be online then checking out the main event.

This is exactly my reason for not watching poker on TV anymore. The more you play the more you realized how heavily edited it is and how unlike "real" poker the shows are. "Real" meaning how boring 19 out of 20 hands can be. ESPN makes poker look like a run and gun basketball game. I am not convinced however that online poker is not just a fad.
