Look at his silly reply to the "NL cash games dying out" post. Mason predicted NL cash games would be dead. His response was not an admission that he was wrong, but he actually said "Well they actualy did." It's childish and silly. Even if they did become less popular for a time, it's clearly not for the reasons he gave - they were ludicrous and wildly wrong, and he can't admit it. Do you really need someone to explain to you why there are still bad players playing NL cash games?

Talk about silly. Wow.

Where were all these N/L cash games about 5 years ago? Good luck trying to find one then. Becoming 'less popular' is a pretty big understatement. But, if not for reasons( ludicrous and wildly wrong ) he gave, then why did limit thrive while N/L went by the wayside?

If you read anything recent, or watched how popular holdem has become, you'd then realize why (mostly new)bad players came back to the game. Though it does help that they have capped buy ins(in most places). Which, from what I've seen/read they are lifting some of those caps. Which should, if they lift them high enough, or all the way, eventually kill many N/L games again. For obvious reasons. Imo, history would repeat itself.
