Hello all,
Just a quick word on recent events in Poker.
First there was Black Friday, on which i don't need to explain alot as all of you what happened then. Nonetheless i would like to say that it's not the first action taken by a country on poker. Look what France did, Italy .... Off course the way the States acted is totally different but for me is only anohter indication that online poker is dead in long terms. The governments of other countries will also take measurements to either shut down a business which they find " illegal " or to otherwise legalise the pokerbusiness and take taxes. Both ways this will be the end for most of the pro pokerplayers on low - midstakes as these games in my opinion.
Second problem is they are introducing HYPERS , which attract most fish / gamblers and keep those players away from normal or turbo games. This also is very bad for good/winning pokerplayers.
It's possible they are introducing these to take as much rake as possible in the short term because they also see problems long term. Rakes in other games have gone up a litle also.
I feel sorry for all of the proplayers and sincerely hope i'm wrong. If not i hope most haven't lived a balla - life and put some of their profits aside so they can profit from this pokerexperience for a long time.
As said, i really hope i'm wrong.
