The Life Cycle of a Poker Player (and my thoughts on live vs online)

However, it's highly unlikely that there will be (m)any more huge improvements of play in poker, it'll probably just be a series of small adjustments. I say this because there are already a large number of smart people working on the game and we're fairly close to solving a few forms: Think ICM, think headsup limit. Adding things in that we don't already - wider use of sophisticated analysis, better fitness, better directed learning - I don't think they'll shift the poker landscape all that far.

The next massive see change in poker will be to change the betting structure. Assuming the public actually wants to see the best players win. Reduce the luck factor.
