I hope people do make poor all ins on nothing more than middle pair. Eventually you will take the money from these type players.

The internet has created much more aggressive players who dont think twice about putting all their chips in on semi-bluffs. This has made the old-school pro's have to change adapt their games to counter this.

Watching the WSOP this year proved this point. You cant bluff internet players half as much as a seasoned pro. Its good for poker.

Well, here's my take.

More and more people are willingto see flops. Once they see a flop, and say the flop bottom 2 pair, they think they have such a great hand. Many fail to recognize flush or straight draws or even possible made straights and flushes that are on the board. They could also be facing higher 2 pair or even a set. They simply think 2 pair is good enough to win and will make a move.

I don't think the bowl will ever run out of fish, simply because of the bonus dollars various sites have. If the site ever detected that the play rate is down, they would react by offering a re-load bonus, and that is all the bait the good players would need.
