We Launched Himself Into the field of divination to predict the relevant events This Year That Will mark of poker in Spain.
As I Have Been good last year today, January 6, Three Kings Have the rewarder me with the gift of clairvoyance so with permission of the teacher- Sandro King – I will throw my five predictions About poker in Spain for the year Have Already Begun.
Anyway, I take very seriously. As the great Sandro King is not perfect and two hundred predictions wrong, to me it is very likely the Same Thing That Happen to me. For your part You Can Predict Which two predictions I will make mistakes. Unfortunately I Have not the ratio of Success of the great seer laSexta.
Alla go.
1. Regulates Spain online gambling
Having seen so far May Come This statement in the catalog Almost of the predictions. The process is still long and tortuous and increasingly It Seems That the end is near, a new twist to leave Skein Further bundled everything in one place. Still, my prediction is Gerund Gamble, Is That in 2012 we Regulated online gambling in Spain.
The Operators Will invest heavily in advertising to ATTRACT New Audience Also to market while Trying to claw market share Among gamers. When Given the starting signal, the flood of promotions are very juicy and boasts fierce competition.
Rake is likely to rise from what we are Slightly Used To date (for instance, in Italy PokerStars commission is 5.5% Compared to 5% of the international platform). Regulars protest the arrival of Bu Perhaps new fishes in the ecosystem mitigates this winrate Increase rake.
In the rooms There Will Be a decent traffic in A Few important months. As I write this (11:15 am, a schedule conducive to anything online poker) is active in PokerStars.it 12 tables and 20 NL100 NL200.
Given the Global Economic situation in the country, and the likely Emergence of strong part-time Employment After the next Labor Reform, the poker as a source of secondary Income, or primary and unique, that ‘s depend on the Ability of each-Is Present as a perfectly plausible option.
Now I pass the forecast released in 2013: liquidity for European Countries That Have shared Regulated gambling.
2. The online casinos are shipwrecked
If success in the previous forecast, we see the entrance to Will the field of eGaming of companies in an industry in recent years have That seen the game on the Internet as Their (unfair) competition and Even In His own field of action have Proven natural waist to fit over the Demands of entertainment Potential new customers.
Before yesterday, still listening to the mantra That Was Not profitable poker for traditional physical casinos as an argument of resistance to innovation in a stagnant industry and Settled on a business model to show signs That Begins of fatigue. Today, profitable or not (it Would Have to ask Their managers), Almost all casinos Spanish Have In Their poker games offer.
Howeve, it Seems to me Difficult to Believe That online poker rooms operated by the casinos to be a Successful product if you do not introduce a radical paradigm shift in management. Try playing online in the offline model is not likely a good strategy and Decisions taken by the management teams of These Will Depend On Their rooms success.
Perhaps Cirsa, Who possessed the experience of WPT, the agent is better for new hires Prepared Who eats from traditional Spanish game, But my prediction is poker That is a residual supply for These operators. And It Will Be a shame.
3. ABC poker is back
Oh, old rockers poker! Do you remember what it WAS to win sencillito FEW years ago? In Those Days of Glory a good friend always meat to our rescue: the ABC poker. Or, as Summed up years ago in this article Asimov, playing tight preflop, bet your good hands, fold the bad, do not bluff, do slow play and pay with odds. Bingo … and deep pockets.
After people Learn to play better and Nothing was simple. The poker evolved and Learn Renewed Fell overboard and not the sharks ate him.
Howeve, if my first prediction is still good (lol), With the advent of regulation is Highly likely the landing of a horde of little fish ready to be the new Negreanu.
Having the radar points to see Where You Will Find marine wildlife and flora (Juan Carreno dixit ) And to throw back our old cane ABC poker, maybe Gives you a joy to more than one Who Had Given Up to the flood of meta-game, leveling and super-aggresion-factor today.
4. Spanish not win a “major”
For I will throw this forecast variance. What is the Percentage of Spanish About the total field of all the tournaments EPT , WPT , WSOPand WSOPE to be played DURING 2012? Not hard to imagine That the chance to win one of These tournaments is very complicated Simply making an estimate of Those numbers. And we know That you have a lot of poker statistics.
As an example, a curiosity. At this Time, and considering the average Spanish That poker player you eat close to the average player of Any Other Country in the drafting of Poker-Red-play to predict Certain criteria, if a Spanish Will the EPT final table bubble When the breaks. Just put the data on the number of total field About us survivors and make of a simple rule of thumb.
Following the Above example, casting the old account and Calculated guesswork, get out That We Will not win a major Spanish in 2012. Although we know the statistics are to That be broken. We Can!
5. Raul Mestre Makes WSOP final table at
No Spanish player Carlos Mortensen But you Reach the final table at an event at the World Series of Poker ( one step Etayo Came Within This Year ), But Neither is a strange fact-if we Consider That FEW Spanish That play … These statistics!
Howeve in the last edition Already a handful Were Who Were Encouraged to try Their luck, Especially in Small and Medium events, and the boxes Were falling.
From Poker-Network we are Launching a crusade staff (ie give regular plate) for Raul Mestre WSOP is played like god, But We Know That the notion of Spending More Than a month in Las Vegas tournament is sure to gamble you cause heartburn Immediately .
With a good tournament schedule and a good bundle selected for sale The Park (Which we know Brings good luck) We Have No Doubt That the chances That Raul Comes Home With A final table in the pocket are more Than high. And the final table is a small step bracelet …
As always, let us pray to the variance and fill this news definitely encouraging comments for the teacher to launch Into the adventure.
