Who here is a pro

[Apocalypse]

i'd still like a person to come with a detailed analysis of why this situation will change. Perhaps its just my monkeybrain, but i see casino's flourish for decades now where all games clearly give negative expectation in all sorts. All stories i've heard so far could just as easily (or even more) be applied for casino's in all of time. I didn't see that "bubble" burst though.. Looking from a gamblers point of view poker is just good fun, since any two cards can win, you can "do stuff" between the first and the last to improve your possible winnings and its a pretty social event.

When i look at the marketingstrategy of pokersites it always seems to pinpoint its focus on sponsoring events like darts, or 8-ball. Probably because most of their target-audience watches those sports. In that case targetaudience implies the lower workingclass and in all fairness the somewhat "mentally challenged": people who love to gamble (a tournament at a local casino where i entered yesterday somewhat verified this point). I dont think they seek to be the new mike dermott but just love the fun of poker and the occasional winnings it can bring chasing for that 2-outer. On the long-term they lose, yeah, but they do that on black-jack, roulette and all things else and that doesn't seem to bother them that much.

Concluding, i just don't have the facts. I'd like to see for instance a diagram of the amounts of different groups based on education, income etc. that watch the WPT and World Series on TV. I don't expect poker to grow as explosive as it does now into infinity or anything. It will stabilise at some point, but i don't see, why this would implode the way people project. But since this does seem to be the common opinion i'd just like to hear a point of view that explains how and why based on some good thorough investigation (somebody must have?). Because my view is some rambling on my own, and probably just as worthless as people who ramble about the burst of the bubble without any factual basis whatsoever. Ok i quit this post now cuz i can't wrap it up [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img],
