Yes, of course you are right. Regular games will continue to be dealt. But why would more hands per hour translate into less fish? This is clearly not the case in online play. There are very many fish online, and the games are dealt at the lighting pace of 50-80 hands per hour. The fish play badly because they are bad players, not just because they bet bored. Getting bored is just one of the reasons that they are bad players. There are a lot of rocks with the patience of a Zen master who play badly. Give a fish AA and will play it wrong much of the time. Give him 82 suited and he'll play that hand badly.
