In my opinion, this is a strange question, it has no reason to discuss. And yet - I think poker, even online, will be permanent and forever. He can be hated, he can be loved, he can be ignored, but he will exist.
Cash games will never die in my opinion and the only thing is very very difficult to maintain as a grind is live tournaments in my opinion. But you know for a good poker grind you just need a deck of cards, a table and a fish!
I believe so, every day the poker community grows and new players, new schools, new tools appear ... so I always see poker in extreme evolution, I don't see this game ending, but growing more and more each day that goes by
Poker will still be played but I doubt it will be the same old game. It'll either be a modified version of Texas hold em are a entirely different poker game altogether. It wasn't all that long ago that five card draw was the most popular game now it's played nowhere other then at the occasional home game. Stud poker too has all but gone extinct as well
I do not see any reason poker to disappear anytime soon (both online and live). Maybe future players will have additional ways to play like VR for example but the game will not vanish anytime soon.
Poker is one of the best card games of all time. It will leave until the end of the world. Speaking of online poker for our kids, I think so, yes, they'll be able to play it.
One of the biggest issue facing the world’s online poker industry is the lack of U.S. players involved in international networks. About 20% of the players at PokerStars before Black Friday were American. Half of Full Tilt’s players were from the US, while about 80% of those at Cereus were. American online poker players are known as loose and full of action. The lack of these players at European sites, not only hurts traffic, but the amount of money Americans bring to those tables.
