Over the past couple of years there are tons of players coming in and making $20/hour playing online poker. This is a result of 2 main trends I think: 1. the huge bonuses given away by poker sites trying to be competitive and 2. all the new fish brought in by the WPT and WSOP on TV. There is no doubt that the very best players will always have a level of skill which will allow them to be paid well. But what about the 2nd tier players - the ones who play a mechanical Lee Jones style tight/aggressive game and just use nothing more than common sense to beat four $2/$4 games at once? Will these people still be making enough money to play pro 5 years from now or will the games dry up? Will bonuses dry up as the online poker industry suffers a shakeout from it's huge growth? A few years from now will cash games basically be a bunch of poker book-educated tight players just all breaking even or will there always be fish?
