Poker in 2017

What do you think about where poker is heading and what we should expect in 2017? What do you personally wait of the industry?

Scott: I hope we’ll see more TV poker in 2017. Poker Central blows my mind with its coverage and I’d love to see how they’ll continue to develop the following year.

Nitsche: Me personally have several interesting ideas about poker development in 2017 and I’m very glad 888 always listens to my ideas. I, for once, believe that this is a wonderful idea to have one more regular Super XL Series. I eagerly wait for this event. I’m sure all the participants will be excited!

I also heard of the grand tournament in China for 2017. We don’t have enough information about this but I’m sure it will be something mind blowing.

Lovgren: I wait for the real upraise of the Chinese poker market.
