Disagree on most of your views.

For me, poker is not a hobby...gardening is a hobby, weightlifting is a hobby, playing guitar is a hobby. Poker is a means of income even though most poker players lose money in the long run , they are the ones that allow me to win money.

To claim that it is less likely to be profitable in poker in 2015 then 2005, is unproveable and just a theory you have. Some players would claim the exact opposite and say there are more internet poker sites then ever before and certainly more live poker tourneys on the circuit.

IMHO..it is important for begginners, to NOT DEPOSIT a significant amount of money .  In fact, for a begginner, I think its much better to use their money to play live poker , and play freerolls online because online poker is a different medium and alot more money can be lost online, due to the ability to always find a game, from the convenience of ones living room along with the fact that playing online results in many more hands being dealt , which can lead to more rake , more bad beats, more reckless playing.

Finally, your statement that

" Poker is a game, a gambling game where the net profit/loss is a loss for all players based on rake "

doesnt make much sense to me . If the rake in poker bothers you so much, then find a no rake game..or play in half rake games , or just stick to tourneys .

Are you a micro stakes player ?  I believe that with your faulty opinions on poker , you probably dont play much high stakes, nor do you make much profits year after year.
