Why? It's simple. It's like huge rally on the stock exchange, it's like a dot.com fever from few years ago. Therefore, it doesn't matter how much it costs to get involved and people spend millions to get the train before it leaves. But the train has got nowhere to go. Just as the stock market, poker industry needs new players to keep booming. But then, suddenly, when noone expects it and when things look really rosy, the river of new players dries out and everything colapses. Surely, PartyPoker, PokerStars, Paradise/Sportingbet - they will survive. But you don't really think there is a market for 500 poker rooms, do you?
The reasons thousands of people play poker will still be there, but the reasons that make millions gamble will not.
