good article, I like it.

I think it's a tough call on whether or not poker will get tougher. The interesting thing about the game is that as it gets more popular, it will inevitably get softer. It's impossible to predict such things; look at the Moneymaker effect. The invention of the hole card cam and the satellite tournaments and the impact of an Everyman winning the WSOP was incredible and it's still making it's presence felt today.

Who knows what the next step will be; maybe there will be a Babe Ruth of poker who is so prolific and charismatic that they will sweep in a new era of popularity. Maybe it will be a celebrity winning the WSOP, like Mats Sundin or Wil Wheaton or Shannon Elizabeth or Tobey Maguire.

I certainly think that the increased TV exposure of Tom Dwan is going to usher in a lot of bad players. Dwan plays a ballsy, high variance style that is basically very alluring but practically impossible to master. Trying to 3-barrel bluff on KQT boards isn't going to be profitable for anyone over the long haul!
