China: Poker's next frontier?

I have posted a thought-provoking article on why I believe China will be Poker's next frontier:

http://olivertsepoker.com/China.aspx

CardPlayer Magazine has already rejected the article, preferring to have its editor work on a similar article instead.

I'll let you compare my work to that of CardPlayer when its article comes out.

Good article,

I live in Australia and our live games are very popular with people from China and other Asian countries. Many people here believe that if holdem catches on in Asia then the games will continue to be good for a long while yet.

I think it all depends on how the games are packaged and how they promote them. But no limit cash games could become insanely popular.

I bet if a Chinese citzen won the WSOP it would blow up over there

This isn't much more than spam for your website.

This China obsession of yours is a bit weird.

What I just did:
clicked on NVG, saw this thread's title, then saw the OP's name, and sighed. i then proceeded to post in this worthless [censored] thread anyways.

give it a rest, man. lol, seriously, ban olivert already.

If it means that Oliver sticks his China rants there and doesn't here, wouldn't that be a good thing?

His website without adds or anything.

Nothing wrong with this post.

I don't think Oliver has an obsessions nearly so much as he mentioned this a few times, likely while he was writing the article.

So, if you ask olivert what to buy a couple as a wedding gift, he will reply "China"?
