But yes, it is dying down unfortunately. Not as many people logging on to Pokerstars that think they are good because they know to raise with AK.
People who think poker is a simple game = easy money.

It may be deeply complex, but it's still just a card game. There's nothing noble or special about it. Chess is deeply complex but if I sat there for hours on end discussing the intricacies of it in a social setting with a bunch of people who might not be quite as enthusiastic about it as I am, I'm going to get cuffed in the head. If gambling on chess becomes my main form of entertainment I think I've got a problem.
