For poker it was that poker got televised and the Moneymaker won the main event (an American with a great name win the biggest tournament while on TV - wow). Some even say the movie Rounders played a role prior to that. 2. Online sites/software maid it possible to play for very little (or a lot) fast and easy from your own home from your computer. 3. A lot of the western world got interested in the game via newspaper articles, advertising online and TV. It was cool and fun to play poker. Sadly the chance of something above happening in the first place is very small. Now you also have the problem with bots, AI and collusion online. The good thing is that poker is still much bigger than is was before the boom. And live poker will be good for many years to come. [/QUOTE]
