Exactly. I read another article today about the downfall of professional pool, and that one also reminded of another sport.

My experience with online tournys was that the only profitable ones was rebuy ones. My dollar per hour even in them was about 1970 minimum wage. I made the most in limit Hold'em. Not my idea of how to make a living or even live period.
