Poker Fad seems to be dying

Signs are pointing to the cooling off of the Poker ‘fad.’ And we say it’s about freakin’ time. Maybe we can get back to having a decent game again amongst friends.

From MSNBC:

The worldwide poker industry appears to have hit every possible inside straight, long-shot flush and unlikely full house that it could, accumulating a large pot of cash in the process.

But as the holiday season nears an end, the industry’s luck seems to be running out as boxed sets of cards and chips are discounted, ratings fade for some poker-themed television shows and shares of a poker-linked stock slump.
