Here in the UK, where poker has really been taking off in the last five to ten years, I hear nothing but complaints about internet players from pro players when I watch them in tournaments.

Why do pros not like internet players? I would have thought they would have welcomed them, especially considering that internet play is generally looser than live play. Is it a case that they haven't developed a strategy to beat internet players or that skilful play may be lost on such opponents?

Any thoughts?
