\tThe 2005 World Series of Poker (WSOP) champion, Australian Joe Hachem doesn\u2019t believe in the future of poker anymore. He launched a full-out attack on the new online generation questioning their passion and heart for the game.<\/p>\n
\tThe Aussie Millions ambassador is saddened by the young generation\u2019s attitude towards poker. He said in a BLUFF interview they only care about money and themselves and aren\u2019t interested in making the game widely-known and fun for the recreational players.<\/p>\n
\t\u201cI think poker is dying and it\u2019s dying because it\u2019s no longer fun for people to play\u201d, Hachem warned us. According to the Australian, the new online generation is responsible for this: they don\u2019t talk at the table and don\u2019t entertain the fish, the ones that make it all possible. He also mentioned about bum-hunting and about the new poker pros\u2019 reluctance to play with no weaker players at the table. \u201cAs soon as the fish walks away from the table, the game breaks online or live now and I witnessed both\u201d, Hachem stated.<\/p>\n
\tHe talked about Antonio Esfandiari as a great example of how to behave when the recreational players are playing.<\/p>\n
\tThe attacks continued with the former WSOP champ saying that the young generation is to blame for the low ratings of the poker TV shows. Only the hardcore players are interested in finesse insides as one’s check\/raise range or opening range from a certain position. \u201cWho gives a s—? The public wants to know what pushes his buttons, what sort of person is he, when is he upset, how well does he handle victory, is he a calm human being away from the table, what\u2019s his background\u201d, Hachem explained.<\/p>\n
\tWhat do you think? Is poker dying? Is the new online generation responsible for the regression of the game?<\/p>\n

We love this whole experience. <\/p>\n \tBesides, we haven’t figured out to play with some dice control or count cards on the internet for advantage play.<\/p>\n \tRose and Alligator Rose<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Scan on February 7, 2014, 10:36 pm<\/p>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Scan on April 10, 2014, 10:20 pm<\/p>\n The 2005 World Series of Poker (WSOP) champion, Australian Joe Hachem doesn\u2019t believe in the future of poker anymore.
