"This poker craze won't last, and I'll surely have missed it by the time I move up again."
I've heard you mention this before at Greg's game in passing. I'm interested to hear your point of view on this subject. While I agree with you, these games from an economic standpoint cannot simply stand to be this good for a sustained amount of time. But then again, what is a sustained amount of time? 10 years? 20? In your opinion, how long do you think the 'poker boom' will last? Certainly this will affect us all when/if it does. From your post above, you seem to think that it will only last a few years? Curious to why.
As a side-note, the last time I played on party poker i bought in for $500 to cover the 20% max bonus for May and quad-tabled 1/2 limit HE for the $100 bonus and netted $60 over the top of that while clearing the bonus in under 4 hours of straight play. 30 BB's + $100 DB = not a bad Tuesday afternoon in my opinion.
Good luck in New York, the lower limits, and looking forward to the 'Greg's game' post.
