I can't see poker going away, but its popularity has definitely taken a hit, even before the pandemic.

I live in WA state, and poker room after poker room has closed its doors.  It does not make enough money for casinos here to use up the valuable space.  This began happening long before COVID struck.  Now our largest poker room (35+ tables) closed for COVID and has announced that it has no plans to re-open.

While the US has some pockets of legalized on-line poker, 90% of the country cannot legally play.  So unless we are willing to re-locate, it is a struggle to play recreational poker.  Why would we pay to watch a game (PokerGo) when we have no outlet to play it.

There used to be at least 10 different poker rooms within 30 miles of my home, now there is 1.  This does not sound like a booming industry to me.  You can imagine how all of the regulars, now flock to this one poker room, and the competition here is very tough.

Good luck and God Bless
