The weekly poker game I go to on Monday nights has doubled from roughly 10 people to 20 in the last month. All of them are out of high school but not a lot are over 25 years old, so they perfectly qualify as the "next generation" of poker players. As we play a $20 no-limit tournament, I realize that the game's lure comes down to two basic ideas: poker is something to do, and we can do it. We'd normally be plugged in watching TV or playing video games, and this is something to do with our friends that is relatively cheap and easy to set up. It's something everyone feels they can do.
