this has been asked before of others but I would like to know your thoughts on the future of online poker. we're going to be ok, right?

also, i play lower than you but I have played with you a couple times and I really admire how strongly you adhere to the don't educate/berate the fish philosophy. If everyone had your control then the poker community would be SO much better off

I'm generally an optimist, but I think things will be ok. Volume has been increasing on stars lately, which is a good sign. If poker can catch on in asia, I think we're in for another boom.

And yeah, I can't even remember the last time I berated someone for their play. This is not to say that I never take jabs at people, as with the right person it is +EV. I'll never initate much, but with aggro fish who are running thier mouths, I like to become a target. This is because I'm generally tight, and when I catch a hand I want action from him/her.
