Poker is not Dead
For all those people that continue to believe that poker is dying, or atleast in its dying stages are completely off. There was the great news reporter from the New York Post, Ryan Berger, and he came out and said because poker has hit the main stream (ie. the Pepsi Ad) it is now doomed. That is another great observation coming from the writers at the Post and it couldn't be further from the truth. Anyways, poker is not dying and if you look at last years online poker stats you will see that it is not dying. Here is an excerpt from Wil Wheaton's blog on the stats in the last year.
"Poker had its biggest year ever in 2005 reaching total Buy-ins of over $376 Million. Poker continued on its record setting pace to start 2006, with back to back record months. February buy-in dollars reached $25.8 Million, the best February ever recorded. This record comes on the heels of the fifth biggest month all-time in poker as January 2006 buy-ins grew 36% over January 2005 with buy-ins of over $38 Million."
So, Ryan Berger the next time you come up with some assinine article, maybe you should, just maybe, check the stats first. Stats don't lie, and these stats show that poker is continuing to skyrocket.
