It’s important to remember casino poker and online poker are different games. You can’t multi-table or use solvers effectively at casino poker. I remember playing at Bike in LA around 2001. There were many discussions about online poker was it good or bad, did players enjoy it or hate it. One thing the Bike regs agreed on was all the poker cheats had disappeared from the LA card rooms to cheat online. I think Howard Lederer and Annie Duke killed the golden goose. Recreational players are no longer attracted to online poker. I don’t even known if rec players play much in casinos. The growth of WSOP shows final growth of grinders more than anything else I guess. But it would be interesting to see data.
