im not. i said compare poker to 15 years ago, 10 years, 5 years, 3 years.
i didnt play 15 or 10 year sago, but friends of mine who are pros who have been around 10+ years say games have gotten much worse.
im in a big city as well and play at well known card room. even jut 1-2 years ago, my room would have a 2 hour wait for a table in a $2/5 game on a Thursday/Friday/Saturday night. now, the way is < 20 minutes on a friday night.
and i guess im not necessarily equating "dying" to obscurity - im just equating "dying" to worsening, with little optimism for a rise/boom in the future.
