2. Very bad fish to reg ratio.
3. Massive rake.
They all combined lead to games which we have in 2016.
Following your own logic "massive rake" isn't a problem either.
Effective rake was higher in the heyday of online poker.
Rake is as high or higher live now than it was 5+ years ago and games are fine (not quite as good but still very good)
As for the bad fish to reg ratio (which is a massive problem) that's caused in large part by mass multi tabling made possible by huds and other software.
If we could somehow have clones of ourselves go to casinos and sit at every table games would go to absolute **** in a day.
Additionally only complete short sited idiots were for higher and higher table caps in 2005-2006.bunch of fools determined to kill the golden goose.
Then again most people thought the gravy train forever back then which is why so many big winners from back then went broke.
Regs think sites are gonna let them fleece fish and not pay for it. ****ing fantasy land.
People in this thread also massively underestimate the costs of getting tons of rec players to come to the site and constantly deposit money at a time where poker has lost a lot of it's luster from 10 years ago.
