Message: [QUOTE="mattiebumpo, post: 6786721, member: 472155"] I think it would be nothing more than a blip on the radar and there would be only small poker and card rooms like it was in the 1970's. Most of the players on this site would never have heard of poker. There might be online poker I don't think it would be nearly as big an industry. I know for myself, I probably never would have started playing poker except for the small recreational games I played with my family. It was the Moneymaker effect that got me into poker when a friend started having home poker tournaments and taught me to play no limit Texas Holdem. Before that I only played family "penny ante" games that were dealer's choice and involved a lot of wild card games like Baseball, Dr. Pepper, and Spit in the Ocean. [/QUOTE]
