The problem with poker today in my opinion is that there are far more good to great players than people playing it with the same mind set as its just like keno...put you money in after each card like its what your supposed to do....not really having a clue...in the last 10-15 yrs the word has got out and people actually have a clue....that is what makes people wonder as good players vs good players makes profitability much harder to envision and realize...at some point you realize no matter how well you learn the game consistently winning can prove to be more and more of a challenge as odd as that may sound....having strings on a bankroll that is not what it once was is also a tough scenario...scared money seems to lose more often...weird....
