Neilly is right tho mtt's will always be soft. The more variance the harder it is for players to know if there playing right. Thats why plo is so much more profitable then holdem. holdem < plo < mtt for variance and variance = greatest factor for softness

There's only so much innovation/adjustments you can do with 10-40bb. Not saying either is dead or dying any time soon but edges are smaller in MTTs and rake eats a lot of profits. if 10-40bb is not as complex as deeper poker, shouldn't it become tougher quicker than cash.

Because fish are attracted to lotteries

nice blog cosmo post more of them imo

As someone who's been playing professionally since 2007 as well I agree with a lot of what cosmo said on the subject. Although I disagree that there's zero chance that online poker will come back to the states as good as it was before....our country is run off money and there's a lot of money to be had in the gambling business...the us government knows this and the government is a bit strapped for cash. the incentive is there for sure, just gotta slowly wade through all the political bullshit first.

For someone with very few other marketable skills I'm finding that transitioning out of poker without a large capital sum to do other things (i started and failed a business back in 2011 for obvious reasons) is very tough. Especially if said person took on big financial responsibilities so a "regular" paying job will really not cover anything. I do think that live poker is slowly improving but the insanely bad players and even the players considered "good" are unbelievably bad. I think that time chamber analogy from dbz is awesome and 100% true...if we crushed online midstakes/low highstakes then we will be worlds apart form your average live player. That said grinding live on downswings can be really gay

anyways this is turning into a rant and i hope someone got something out of this. to me poker is just a means to an end and not the end all.

not sure but sounds like he could be talking about Bodog? (or Bovada or w/e it's called now) they have anonymous tables, no RB afaik and pretty shit software from what i remember. shady management and probably not a ton of traffic.
