Re: An Unprecedented Time: Teenagers and Poker
[ QUOTE ]
I think a lot of people will have amazing stories to tell ten years from now, and not much else - many professional poker players included.
A lot of players will have debts and drug addictions that will take years to recover from.
Very few will be able to sustain the comfortable living that they are enjoying now.
It is possible that the success will be prolonged with legislation, or legalization in Asian countries, but even then, the games will dry up again.

I think this is exactly right, and it makes me sad. I also have concerns about the psychological impact of the lifestyles and habits that are being formulated during these young adult years.
