I don't play anymore. No limit hold'em has killed all the games I actually enjoy, which are limit hold'em, stud, razz, and omaha 8.

I hope when the next recession hits it kills no limit again.

There's plenty of razz, O8 and 6max LH at low-mid limits online. I don't see any reason to quit altogether just because NL is much more popular right now.

There's my problem. I could make good money 8 tabling $3-$6 full ring, then I burned out from doing this 8 hours a day. After I came back to give it another go, I discovered that the 6 maxes had killed all the full ring limit action. And I can't play enough tables of 6-max low limit to make it worth my while because the hands come around too fast, LAG play in the opposition becomes more proper (that's why they moved to 6-max). I'm underrolled for anything higher and don't really see the opportunity to play my way up again. Combine all this with not even knowing how to go about funding an account anymore since the ridiculous internet gambling ban [censored], and I think my poker career is just dead.

And when I said NL had killed the other games; I meant live. Nobody ever wants to play anything but NLHE where I live, and I hate that game except in tournaments (and even the local tournaments have terrible structures and giant rakes).

On a related note, do you think if we played poker with gold coins instead of poker chips would that prevent a recession?

No, but I played in a local $2-$4 game where the chips were all Sacagewea dollars; it was pretty fun.
