Well stated. The NL boom was able to sustain itself for so long because there was a relatively large influx of new and/or weak players. That influx has slowed and the surviving players for the most part get better. Making $30 plus per hour in NL games with small blinds and a big rake simply wasn't sustainable.

Where I play (Atlantic City) any rumors of the death of the NL boom would be greatly exaggerated.

I would guess that the tourist areas--AC and LV--and large poker markets like LA will stay soft longer.

Areas where the potential poker player base is fairly limited, say riverboats and tribal casinos in locations with smaller populations and modest tourist business, may see games get tougher more quickly.

OP didn't say where he's is playing however, so don't know if this theory is applicable in his case.
