When did it peak ?

[UnEducaterd]

Okay, here we are at an interesting point of the poker life cycle.

Poker was popular in the "backrooms" in the 60's, 70' 80's and then with technology in the 90's and 2000's a few more people got involved.

With the advent of Late Night Poker and then the World Poker Tour , every man and his puppy thought they could win an event,,,

SO they tried by signing up to sits that allowed them to play and win seats in 25k events for FREE ( gee, Mary, how do these sites on the intraweb make money if its free to win ? )

Then a guy called Joe Hachem followed in footsteps of a guy called Chris MONEYmaker and got hit with the deck for 7 days and nights and bagged multimillions.

Then APril 15 happened.

SO at what point do you think Poker was actually at its VERY peak?

Now, a few of you will try and post un-serious replies, so i have collated a few below in case you think i could really give a fying 3 minute brothel fuck about poker's peak, myself

Poker is nowhere near market saturation. It hasn't peaked.
