Well you know things are only going to get worse.
Players are getting stronger and AI is constantly improving and soon there won't be any games running on a high level at all because of it unless the sites start investing in security more.
Rake is going to increase even more in the future and almost all of the top cash game professionals (Jungleman and WCGRider to name two on record) agree that within 10 to 15 years cash games will be near dead.
Winter is coming.
I remember the early noughties and there were a lot of high stakes tables and a lot of people getting into deep financial doo doo. That landscape has changed significantly since then. Only really play low stakes Omaha cash now and the tables fairly tight at ipoker and I find that suits my game most of the time. Again I visit the perception thing and think possibly choos'em hold'em might be worth a try where players get to pick the community cards. obviously a set of formulas would have to be coded in order to evaluate choices and reach conclusion e.g if you have 2 players in the pot going to the river then 3 face down cards as choice for river. if player a chooses card a and player b chooses card b then card c is flipped. if both choose card a then card a is flipped. lot's of variables I know but believe it has potential and just might bring back some of the naysayers
That's a documented psychological phenomenon you know - getting to choose the card so that you won't feel scammed when you lose even though the odds are the same.
By the way, you need to learn to separate your thoughts through the use of paragraphing. One train of thought per one paragraph. That way at the very least if someone gets bored by what they are reading they can move on to the next point to see if that is interesting. If it's just one big huge paragraph, finding, ordering and referencing becomes difficult.
some difference in 10 years. the high stakes tables were very busy 2006 but now the tables are mostly empty in comparison
