Poker room at TI shut down yesterday. 25th room closed since 2012. Oh where have you gone Chris Moneymaker?

A fad that lasted longer than anyone thought.

Yup....personalities fueled the boom. Farha, Raymar, Hellmuth, Gold et al. Now it's a bunch of punk kids that nobody is interested in seeing. Plus pushing the Final table back months was figuratively pulling the popularity plug.

Interesting perspectives. Sort of agree.

In poker-circles, there's also a feeling that tournament poker has mostly been solved. IE, harder to distinguish yourself from the field.

We're talking about a 7 table room here, and most of the casualties are from venues that are relatively small. The industry although far declined from its peak is still fairly healthy with tours and a record turnout at this year's WSOP a welcome sight. Those rooms in more popular, prestigious and casinos that are up kept aren't likely to go anywhere anytime soon. There still has to be at least 400 rooms available still spread among Sin City.

It was refreshing playing without all the orientals at Southpoint last weekend, in LA its 90pct Asians, compared to 9pct, in vegas they lack social skills and then they order the obnoxious garlic plates.

Four hundred poker rooms in Las Vegas?

I don't think so, Jimmy.

Forty maybe, not 400.

Sorry JK meant to say combined tables among the remaining rooms.

My original statement could also have been taken as an understood exaggeration.
