Royal_Tour 0 Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 Also, you have to be specific about what it means when the boom is over or slowed. We are obviously in a boom now, but the gauge should be % growth and the transformation of the poker players into a fully legitimite professionals. This is something that looks to me like it has had very slow growth til 2001.Your right Elk.Thank you for posting an actual response. I've worked with canadian poker tour officials, and we discussed filming of events throughout Canada. We were going to be the first televised poker series in Canada. And because of this, I tend to notice a lot more about how its growing in different parts of the world.And in my part, the recent "hole cam" edition and online has definetly increased the huge poker craze over the past 2 years however i do see the over all theme starting to slow. Not so much poker itself., but rather the hype it has had.Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Python49 0 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Thing with poker though is that its got a very addictive nature to it.... its not a fad thats just going to go out of style. Has gambling in vegas gone out of style? Nope. I think poker will be around for a long time because the reason for its popularity is due to the players... people who play.. and they say over 60 million people play poker currently (i forget if thats just in the USA or what)... so to say poker will die out, that would mean that people stop playing... now you yourself, would you be done playing poker in 5 months? I know for myself I wouldn't. Link to post Share on other sites
KDawgCometh 2 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 absolute, most of your 1800+ posts are worthless or worse - they just feud stupid bickering. At least be witty about it. I seriously looked to respond positively to one of your posts over the last few days and could only find one..in all fairness, Royal Tour hans't exactly contributed all that much to the site himself. THere are people who rip on people in gen pop, but contribute a lot in strat, catch my drift. Since 75% of this forum doesn't know about the strat section, many don't see the worthwile posts Link to post Share on other sites
