Message: [QUOTE="CNXRegie, post: 6786649, member: 1022102"] The "Moneymaker Effect" had a significant impact on poker, igniting a boom and introducing many to the game. Without it, poker's growth might have been slower, with a different path to popularity. Online poker might have risen at a different pace, and the focus could be on high-stakes pros. Chris Moneymaker's win was crucial in bringing poker to the masses, but it's uncertain if poker would be the same today without it. Nevertheless, that 2003 moment remains pivotal in poker's history.
