Can u give me an exact thread/post link to that:

The same people that were pioneers of this game back in 2004 are telling us that the game is dying and drying up, shouldn't we listen to them?

Look no further than some of the blogs on here. Heck, a lot of them don't even play online anymore. Mostly just live.

idk I'm at nl50 and I still have fun with the game.
Anyway good luck in all that you do!

this is retarded, don't quit if u think u can make it, quit if u think u're not cut for this game

that's it

there is no such thing as games drying up, there's more good players, just as many fishes

a lot of those pioneers were ultimately bad players who had neither the drive nor the capability to keep up with the evolving state of the games. i wouldn't listen to most if any of them. they were lucky enough to figure out/be given the understanding of how to 3bet and be aggressive in position in a time when nobody knew wtf was going on, but if they are truly good (i.e. CTS would be a good example) they wouldn't be ghosts today.

if the games are getting harder you just gotta get better. i think i told this to you yesterday

good luck in whatever you do, you're a good dude i hope you find your groove.

winners never quit and quitters never win.

but who never wins and never quits is an idiot.

Just follow your heart, don't make up excuses, you look like an awesome dude. Selective memory, the ones doing badly makes x20 more noise, I don't know a lot of people who play poker, but those I do make a really nice profit from it without putting to much into it. Why I wanna keep trying till I get it, the challenge is fun and I'm enjoying the process =]

Ps, that thing you said about school. Sick important and the way to go =]

look at the 2009 year wrap up thread and go find the same thread from 2008.

That being said if a 1 dollar sng grinder can make 30k a year the only thing is does show is that poker requires a lot more effort than you think.

I think I quit too,it's just not worth the hours and it takes a long while to actually begin to turn some profit. Besides I have pretty specific and difficult/demanding life goals which will take up all my time.

if you're unhappy with grinding out out then that's the correct decision.

but you're wrong when you think there's no edges to be found.

and who said it doesn't take hard work and discipline to succeed at poker? if you thought otherwise you were grossly misinformed or just played ignorant/naive.

happens to everyone, sooner or later everyone goes bust

you'll be back in the game before you know it

#18 this

The only ones thinking the game is drying up are the ones failing to adapt.
