BartÂ’s here he can argue his viewpoint.
Mine is different and was based off other reasons for them being bad for the game than them being professionals unless he’s saying that them being winning and transitory (can only come for 3 months of a year on their visas) is bad for the ecosystem. I disagree strongly that people will play as often in environment that is filled with unpleasant people and clubs like these should actively try to weed out bad actors so the majority who arenÂ’t will play more often.
I have been playing live poker for twenty years, poker is full of unpleasant and bad people, regardless of the room. There is no avoiding that (unless you get invited to a nice home game, I suppose). If people act egregiously, then they should get lifetime bans, and they should be enforced.
The casino that I don't go to anymore used to have more high limit games than they do now, we could argue till the cows come home about the reasons, but the casino poker boom has subsided in many places.
When I was in Vegas this year for the WSOP, the cash games were full of Euros. They were no fun to play with, tight/aggressive play, no talking at the tables, they were deadly serious, etc. I agree that amateur players would not want to play with these people on a regular basis. But my point is that I know pros that act the same way, I don't want to play with them for the same reasons.
