Is it even worth it to try and learn now?

1. the population has been shrinking since black friday, and it's not the fish that are staying

2. all of the poker giants have at least 7 years experience, and they all had the luxury of learning in a much, MUCH softer environment

3. the nosebleeds consist of the exact same 10 guys waiting for the odd millionaire to come and spew some funds

4. FR is pretty much dead over 100nl

5. 6max is pretty much dead over 500nl

6. jungleman agrees that online poker is dying a slow death

by the time you become excellent, there won't be much value for you to scrape out

Absolutely. You can learn cheaply. There is so much free content out there, and there are plenty of online sites where you can learn to jump stakes with a minimum deposit. If you really want to learn and not gamble the game has never been better. Omaha and other variants are attracting whales. The game is still very alive.

If you plan to make a living off it: probably not. You're way better off studying for a good exam that will guarantee you a satisfying paycheck without any variance.

If you're planning of having poker as a hobby where you can become a winning player of symbolic sums of money: abso-fucking-lutely.

Microstakes tournaments are still great fun if you're into strategy games at all.

Live play is still pretty viable. The current state of nonregulation in the US will not last forever.

I wouldn't say dying. More like stagnating for a bit.

People are always going to want to find a way to gamble. I expect more BTC sites to pop up eventually.

Too much money not too.

Also there's a bunch of states slowly legalizing it'll make it back.

Until then does anyone know of any online sites?

Nitrogen Sports has a pretty good poker room that accepts bitcoin.

Not too many people there but pretty good software.
