Mine would definitely be:
"Bots becoming too good for humans" and the games just dying off.

Dude, this whole bot talk is one big blowup, the people that run bots that are able to beat midstakes or smallstakes you can count on 1 hand, and they will never sell or give such bot away to the masses. You can't say if today 5 people manage to beat midstakes then in 5 years it will be a 100 people, the technique is just way too tough to figure that out.

Whats me stopping is my gambling behaviour, even if I want to be a pro I just mess it up bigtime.

The games dying off aren't scaring me. I mean if it becomes hard to make a living online, just learn and play something else: PLO, draw games, stud games... There are a lot of poker variants out there. Or go play live. At low stakes, they will be soft for a long time I think.

What's stopping me: BR and current stake still a little low. So fear to go busto after a bad run. Maybe 2012.

+10000

I love poker but once I have to solidly grind I get bored as hell and all passion for it dies, guess I'm more of a gambler then a grinder. It's a bit frustrating
