I would assume it's a combination of lack of time to devout to poker as well as a complete lack of effort to actually getting better. The state of the BC is actually pretty pathetic atm.

FTR used to be a group of friends who were all trying to get better at poker. It certainly helped we all played professionally and could bounce all these ideas off each other and were interested in improving each other's game. Now it's just like w/e, that spirit of community is gone and is unlikely to return as an overwhelming majority of us have moved past poker.

I had a very good friend talk about why that spirit is gone. Posting strategy in a public forum as gone way down in EV in the last few years. Basically now when someone good posts a strat post he is throwing money into the streets and everyone is kinda scrambling to get it. Then came a time when people began to dictate the matter of which the good player should throw his monies into the street. Obviously this doesn't sit too well so the good player stops posting because he's not gaining anything from this anyway. This has lead to the death of actual strat discussions from good players in nearly every forum except this one in SHNL IMO.
