Actually I believe that poker has been treading water and has been for a while.

Apart from the Moneymaker effect - at a particular time in the culture and with broad coverage - the poker industry has failed to re-capture that moment. In fact I think they have given up on the idea.

There is a base of players which are going nowhere and others with a similar bent that will replace those who leave the game. But it is hardly as though the industry is striving to promote itself in a tangible way. They are just happy to have their slice from the existing cake.

So when an entity such as GG Poker makes a bigger and bigger splash within the global game I do not see them as establishing new players but rather poaching existing  players in the North American and European context.

As for the industry promoting itself , I am tired of raising the fact most poker media  content is now behind a PokerGo paywall which is only to the detriment of the game. The public is therefore now less aware of poker than they have been in decades.
