According to Joe Hachem "poker die" Former world champion Australian has spoken recently with Bluff on what you think is the decline of the modern game.
During the five-minute talk, Hachem has expressed dissatisfaction with recent WSOP champions and how stoic attitude of young players is making the game less fun for everyone.
While suggesting that some players are already working to improve its presence in the tables, fears that the poker industry could be headed to a big downswing.

Well nice video from him, he gave a nice interview , and i agree poker is changing a lot and it is now becoming harder and harder to play poker , with all those materials about poker out there. People now play tight even the newbies so not that much fish. In 2000 you could play tight and make lot of money as limping was the norm at that time and playing tight was being a fish! Anyway nice news mate.

The Problem was, taht the poker rooms can´t get enough. The promotions and rakeback offers are not so good like in the past. And at every table you get neverending suckouts over suckouts. Yes, what he say was true!

Must see and do for this to keep it fun and profitable ...
According to Daniel so quel Negreano want for the future of poker: it is an ecosystem in the game "is fun and competitive at all later."
Affirming that the key to success in poker is a "collective effort" where professional players should create a close relationship between their goals and the "greater good" game.

I dont think that poker will ever die just by judging the amount of entries in these big money tournaments. If you log into any poker site you will see that nearly every tournament fills up quite quickly
He is right, that the new young players are boring to watch, there is no new Phil Hellmuth, Phil Laak, Daniel Negreanu, etc. But I don´t think that this will make poker die.
