If a new poker boom takes place, I think it will have a lot to do with a 3rd world economy becoming developed thus creating a lot of disposable income, especially if coupled with a Chinese/Indian WSOP winner. Of course I do think the biggest killer of poker is the US government. I don't live in the US, is there any chance of online poker becoming deregulated again?
While I do think the Main Event winner can have a significant impact (that's the subject of Part 5 in the series), I think online poker is substantially more important. I 100% agree though that untapped populous areas like China and India need to be brought into the fold better than they are. A lot of that results from certain countries being adverse to the gambling culture. As far as regulation goes, I think the US will go state by state. Probably 5 states by the end of 2017, but the entire country? That may take another 20 years. The key is merging liquidity with the states that have regulated gambling with the rest of the world.
