The casino I frequent is drying up...

And the young kids are the ones who began their poker journey online. The speed of online play "compresses" experience, and tools like Pokertracker make it possible to analyze one's play in a way that was never possible before. For a player with the desire, online play can make a person very good, very fast. Inevitable that this will have an impact on B&M play.

Heck, I'm just an old fart who plays recreationally less than 10 hours a week, single table most of the time. (The sort of player who would play live if a card room was nearby.) Even with my leisurely approach, I see double the hands I would in a B&M, and don't have to rely on memory to review my play.
