Gabe Kaplan: Burned out on poker

Gabe Kaplan, who is the analyst for High Stakes Poker and the National Heads Up Poker Championships, is in South Florida doing a stage show of "Groucho."

When I asked him about poker, he said he's "burned out" from the game.

Can't say I blame him; and Sports Illustrated, in its movie review of Blinds, called it "so 2006."

But in Kaplan's case, he's been playing for 30 years, long before any TV show broadcast poker.

So, is there a chance poker/Texas Hold 'em is dying out? Anybody tired of playing, ready to move on to another game? What do you think?
