Just curious to folks thoughts.

My answers are: 1) yes, 2) no but I could be wrong, 3) a bit but not too much

I agree with you on all parts. How ever I think poker has been a bit to cosmetic in the last years. I remember playing tourneys in basments with scratched cards and filthy chips (well almost anyway

). Today poker has been such a big fly and all the cebs are playing it now and it has become important how to look around the table. To much glamour in my taste.

So I do agree with you but a big part of me are missing the "old" days.
