Poker gets in peoples blood
I probably know a little bit more than most people do about what is happening but even for very seasoned people it is hard to say what is going on.
This is what I know. I have been playing poker seriously for the better part of 15 years. When people say the fish will leave I don't think its the fish that are our problem. Fish will always come and go. Right now they may go more than they come. For myself until about 4 years ago I could never make enough money with poker so I did other things. Who knows, maybe I will do other things soon. So that may be the people we will lose, the people who just need to make more money. But I will always play poker and I will go to great lengths to play poker. So will bad players because everyone in the whole world thinks they are better than they are. I know the future is uncertain but I am here to tell you once you are exposed to poker its hard to get it out of your system. So if it means I will have to wire money or fedex a check, that is what I will do. And so will everyone else.

Re: Poker gets in peoples blood
i was thinking about this too. poker in stud/draw form has been around for how long? hundreds of years? for those who say that online poker is a fad, I call it an advent. it was only a matter of time before the internet and gambling joined forces. sure, the huge influx of people will die down within the next several years- that much of it is a fad. but there will always be a plentiful supply of gamblers because as the OP said it's in their blood. as far as jumping thru hoops to deposit- keep in mind that neteller was already a pretty decent hoop to some tards, but they managed.

Re: Poker gets in peoples blood
by in large the population are pessimists. Couple that with the fact that poker players are likely more than the average and you have overwhelming panic. Poker players also are not conformists, by in large, so I see them going to great lengths to get money online.
If you were making $250k, you may have to settle for $125k or play a little more live. The players playing live nowadays are complete donkey's.

Re: Poker gets in peoples blood
Nature maintains a natural balance between predator and prey, and so will the online poker world. When there are fewer gazelles, there are fewer lions surviving in Africa. Yes, there will be a bad transition period of starving lions eating each other, but soon the situation will normalize. A lot of the poker lions who made a living multitabling all day will go get a job somewhere.
