Pros Acknowledging Youth
The smart poker professionals in the industry have begun to take a very keen
interest in the upcoming generation of poker players who are not only flooding
the online casino poker gambling venues but that are also very active in the
major land poker tourneys taking place in Europe and the United States. Phil
Hellmuth is one of the older generation of internet poker pros and stands as one
of the legends in the industry with 11 WSOP bracelet wins already under his belt
and he is working toward adding another this year.
Hellmuth is not only a skilled land poker player but he has also continued to
build up a reputation via the internet through the online casino poker rooms.
Hellmuth’s recent observations in light of the entry field at this year’s WSOP
are so very relevant to the future of the internet poker industry. According to
Phil the veteran poker players are now the minority in the industry and the WSOP
has an entry field where the online casino poker playing youth out number the
old-school players 4 to 1. He also noted a good deal of impress at the fact that
these younger mostly online casino poker players are “sharp, well trained, and
they put in their time and effort.”
The reason these young online casino poker players are gaining so much attention
from the pros is the fact that the younger generation of players have some
incredible skill and at a very early age because of internet poker accessibility
as soon as a gambler comes of age. |
