Recently Partick Antonious took down the largest ever online pot at $878k, and then within 2 weeks smashed that record with a $1.3 million pot (against the same opponent) The online pot sizes are starting to surpass those in televised cash games, and are becoming incredibly big. What do you think poker will look like in 10 years from now? Will $10million pots be a weekly occurrence? Will internet poker games have become much bigger that anything offered live? |

Poker Bots. Most power users already have computer systems that can process tens of millions of hands per second, so by following Moore's law in 10 years we should have desktop computer systems that can process upwards of 1 billion hands per second. With profiling data getting easier and easier to obtain online it won't take long for bots to start dominating all but the highest limits and most advanced players. |

It's all about the fish. Even great bots can't make a game unprofitable if there is a fish in it. The high stakes action (nl2k+) is pretty dry already, cause there is hardly any fish. So it basically comes down to how much money is coming into the poker economy from recreational players.. in 10 years probably not that much anymore, so not much games going. |

UIGEA will eventually be overturned and this will add $1 billion to the poker economy in short order. Get your multi-tabling skills ready....:) |
