During the 80s, Trivial Pursuit became an unprecedented phenomenon that took over the gaming subculture. Players of all ages gathered with family and friends to test their knowledge of often unimportant happenings in the worlds of sports, history, and arts and leisure. At the end of the 90s came television's time in the spotlight as 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' flooded the air waves with nearly nightly showings. The thought of players winning one million dollars had America glued to it's television sets, as we played vicariously through each contestant.

2000 brought with it a new age in computer games and high speed web access allowed gamers to compete with players from across the globe. But, even as high definition graphics amazed, Texas Holdem was about to emerge as the new decade's home, television, and computing game of choice.

The invention of hole-card cameras, the World Poker Tour, and Chris Moneymaker's Cinderella story at the 2003 World Series of Poker had people of all ages clambering for more and more information on Texas Holdem. Poker pros who were once shunned by society suddenly became revered as celebrities. Online poker sites were born and their memberships exploded along side their live tournament counterparts.
