I've just seen the only players who win being the ones who have enough time on their hands to play 360 days a year. Volume seems to be all that matters. I think the future of poker, online and off, is pretty bleak. Today's a different world than it was in 2006. Very, very few people are going to spend time, money, energy, etc all studying and preparing for something that might not pay off at all. No matter how well they do. People want instant gratification and results today and who could blame them? It's a fast paced world. A game that regularly rewards the losing player just doesn't seem to fit into the world today.
