Afternoon all,
I used to be a regular here around 2 years ago and have slowly stopped playing poker for various reasons and I am to start back up again in the near future.
I've not followed the game at all for at least 1 year so I'm curious what's happened, how is the poker economy these days? Is the game easier, harder and where is poker heading in 2017?
The last I can remember was Poker had hit its high and was slowly losing its popularity, brands weren't sponsoring big names, providing high bonuses for grinders and generally catering to the casual player. I can see on PokerStars that there are 106k players online, I'm sure I remember it being circa 50k? So looks like they're doing something right.
So what's happening in the Poker world and what does 2017 have in store?
Additionally new, faster poker tournaments formats introduced like Snap or Blast poker formats.
