For online poker I think I agree most with

1. The poker industry should have bribed gov't. Western governments are among the most corrupt in the history of mankind, and the whole situation in the US could easily have been avoided.

2. Nat Arem was spot on saying that rakeback and PT turned online poker into a much less fun game. I know that I definitely play less because if you look at any limit over 25NL, the games are like avg pot 10BB, 10-17% players per flop. Those are brutal stats and a far cry from the old days with pots of 25BB+ and 40% to the flop.
