Default Re: no limit holdem/future of limit holdem?

[ QUOTE ]
i don't care to speculate on the future of lhe because i think it's just that, speculation, and it is pretty silly to begin estimating when lhe will make a come back and how strongly, or when it will become extinct etc. because it's just impossible to know any of these things with the slightest degree of confidence.

lhe isn't as ripe for making money as it used to be but there is still definitely water in the well. thus, my plan is to keep sitting in the good lhe games while trying to peice together a nl game on the side/in my spare time. i think that is a wise approach for any lhe player these days.

also, i am sort of baffled as to why the popularity of lhe is waning. people say because they televise nl but like 5 years ago when the televising really started to take off it was LIMIT that was booming and continued to for the next 4 years or so, all the while they were still televising 95% nlhe. i don't see what catalyzed this collective movement away from lhe and towards nl. sure does suck though.

What about US legislation and the demise of party poker? Is it possible this is a factor?
