This has always been true. Most people have a limited amount of money to lose playing poker and neither the patience nor will to become a winning player.

If you're able to adjust your game to specific players and table conditions, NLHE will always be beatable.
i understand your point, zook, and it is valid for sure. personally, i am not having any trouble beating the game...its just more rare to see the pf RR get called multi-way. and the "all-in first tourney hand" is all but gone.

i feel the fish that "love" poker, and 18 mos ago there were a lot more of them, are having trouble reloading. its not that they dont have the money...its because the USregs have made it more difficult for all but us degenerates to get money in. we degenerates arent going anywhere.

then again, most of us here prolly have not had to reload, unless our rolls were trapped in neteller while waiting for a huge bonus to emerge.
