Message: [QUOTE="accuratefern, post: 7049082, member: 1042810"] 90% decline in online poker player pool in 10-12 years. That means there are few High Stakes tables and only at GG - which is not licensed in my country - and PokerStars, which has been my home turf for a couple of decades. Preferably plays NL2000, but also NL1000 and now and then NL500. All the regs on these stakes are obviously into the Nitty Gritty of GTO. Winning players typically score 6-10 BB per hour. Before GTO, and when there were ten times as many players, 15-20BB was not unusual. So yes, the game has gotten tougher. It also makes it more exciting. I have a good job - I am a PhD - and that is the main focus. So it typically only turns into about 8 hours of poker (a little more if there is action on NL2000) per week. I am very bad at tournament poker and never plays it. The motivation, of course, is to make money. In the past, there was also the adrenaline rush. I no longer experience this. There are both pros and cons to that. I never tell anyone but my wife what my bottom line results are. Quite a few of my college students play poker. None of them have any idea I'm playing too. I am very private about poker. Never been to a poker forum before. And I probably won't stay there for long either. I do, however, like the respectful tone that most people contribute on Cardschat. PS! There is no such thing as luck in cash games. In the long run - and nothing else matters - it is 100% skills. Mr. Negreanu did not win tons of millions because he is lucky. Bottom line it is all skills. [/QUOTE]
