And yet there are still many who are able to.  How can this be so:confused:

(imo) Tournament poker IS like the lottery.... but the good players are showing up with many more tickets!  :D

Seriously though...  My thoughts are >>> anyone in this thread who believes that poker is just like a lottery (I'm assuming they mean 'tournament poker' ?), just doesn't know very much about the game.

The difference in today's game (vs. 10+ years ago) is that there are a higher percentage of good, knowledgeable players vs. newer recreational players.  10+ yrs. ago many of the players weren't very good & didn't have the availability of information like there is today.  Today there are STILL a good number of not so good players but at higher buyins online the fields are infested with sharks. (even in the low buyins & micro buyins) you'll find a large number of decent players.
During this pandemic it is reminding me of the old days of Online Poker.  Unfortunately I have not been able to play much at all :( ... but am feeling like I have been really missing out.  (the little bit I have played had me shocked at the difference in play on the tables (cash game > micro/low limits).  It was amazing!  And what would typically be a bad time of day to play (ie. 08:00 to 15:00 Euro time) when the tables are FILLED with regulars.... it is now no longer the case.
