I agree that the block reward should be lower then 2000 in the future, but i dont agree about it being lower then 500.
If we lower the reward too much there will be little incetive for miners to continue supporting this coin.
Also if the coin picks up momentum after the poker room comes out, it wuld be fair that people can still get a reasonable amount of coins to play with by mining.
Yeah it will most likely be decently higher than 1000, maybe 1450 to start.. And then it will be the same, down 20% after every three months. By doing this we're preventing a pump and dump with both the inflation period, and block reward decreases.
