Poker Popularity Dropping

Over the last two years the popularity of poker has dropped among the young, according to the research of a social trends organization. With its origins in the UIGEA in the United States, online poker has taken a number of hits in recent years, including a drop in TV ratings, tournament sponsorship and fewer overall online poker rooms to play at. While none think online poker is going away in a permanent fashion, it is apparent that the heyday of online poker from 2005 has come and gone. The study also said that poker popularity has not dipped among long term players.
