my activity kind of dropped here, due to me not getting much utility and also people taking a negative attitude when i threw a tantrum since i got more disciplined my roll has been growing well.
However what I fear is that online poker may die ive expressed this fear before eventually making my efforts obsolete. with the new release of jack pot sit and goes and the likes there are scary prospects, the competition getting tougher and the recs reducing.
then it came to me crystal clear from my finance degree poker is like any other industry in sense a simple concept called efficient market hypothesis.
in its simple sense it states that if an industry is over paying a cash cow, lots of people go to invest buy shares it pushes the share price up and now the return you can get is greatly diminished due to the high price and thus in theory all markets end up balancing out.
how this relates to poker is it does have a cost in time and opportunity cost someone doing poker for a living or to top up there income could easily do another job weather thats account or kitchen porter or doctor whatever.
if the games become to tough eventually people will drop off to pursue other things if they become to easy people will jump in and eventually it will fluctuate slightly but will maintain a steady medium. I do believe it still hasn't balanced out and will only get harder and tougher but i do believe that eventually it will reach its peak.
the un accounted for element though isn't the pros or grinders i just simply explained that part of the eco system that is just simple economics or even biology. the other factor is the casual players.
so those that arent grinders or professionals etc heres my general questions,
what sort of games do you play, do you stick to $1 $5 etc or do you go for $30 $40 etc do you play hyper turbos mtts more cash games etc.
im trying to get at will a casual player ever play a $100 hyper turbo or is this only ever full of pros and grinders, either regs or those taking a shit etc.
