effect of on-line poker downturn

Moneymaker won in 2003, then Raymer in 2004 and I started playing online poker towards the end of that year. I think that I may fit the average demographic of joining the party with that big wave of new online players. The explosion was reflected in the number of WSOP main event entries plus those winning seats online.

I have had winning month after month online for the past two years and will only play online if:
1) It is easy to transfer money to/from a PokerRoom
2) There are way more fish than sharks
3) I can get a check in the mail within a week.

If the bar gets raised too high, then it's ADIOS Amigos.

If you've had 'winning month after winning month' i'd imagine you'd go to a little more effort to play despite the hardship.

Heck - I had 49 winning months and SINCE The Bill I have REALLY had a hard time. Had my first losing month in December and my profits have dropped 60%

I have HEARD that there is not much change in LIVE games - still a ton of fish but as many as there used to be. I think it's two seperate groups of people for the most part.
